Every journey begins with a single step. What started as one man’s path to healing after cancer – running endurance events to stay healthy and honor those affected by the disease – has grown into something bigger. Our founder turned his personal recovery into a mission: raising funds to support children who have lost parents to cancer.
Now, we want to expand our reach. The goal was always to have more runners than just Phil. This year, we’re excited to announce that our goal is finally being realized. In 2025, we are introducing our new Running for Dreams Ambassador Program.

Want to Become an Ambassador?
Our Ambassador Program gives athletes a few ways to get involved. Join one of our scheduled Team Runs, create a Team Run of your own, or take on an endurance challenge as an individual ambassador.
Whether you’re running with a group or chasing a personal goal, every mile helps support people and families affected by cancer.
