Our Mission
Live Brave exists to bring our community together in support of youth mental health, with a specific focus on eating disorder prevention and recovery.
Partnership
In 2026, we are proud to partner exclusively with the WithAll Organization, a nonprofit dedicated to providing critical education, prevention resources, and recovery support to individuals and families affected by eating disorders. We have been donating to WithAll since the race's inception in 2021.
