💖 A Lasting Impact

• Lily’s Legacy: Lily was more than an exceptional student and gifted distance runner at Providence Grove High School—she was a light to those around her.
• Her Spirit: Though we lost Lily far too soon to an eating disorder at the age of 17, her spirit lives on in this event.
• Support: This event fuels mental health support for those in need through The Oaks Therapeutic Community.

🌟 Make 2026 Our Biggest Year Yet!

• Participation Goal: Last year, we had participants from 10 states and even an international runner from Sweden—and this year, our goal is runners from at least 35 states!
• Join Us: Whether you join us in person or virtually, every step you take helps raise awareness.
• Support System: Help ensure no one has to struggle alone through this movement.

👟 Lace Up, Team Up, Show Up!
