Freed to Run™ started in 2016 as a six marathons in six days point to point relay, from Tallahassee to Jacksonville, courthouse to courthouse, with teams covering the distance by taking turns throughout the day. For the next 7 years, Freed to Run™ raised money and awareness to support pediatric patients and their families in navigating legal obstacles that often impede their health outcomes. The result: $2.25 million raised and placed in an endowment to fully fund the North Florida Medical Legal Partnership.
Starting in 2023, we endeavored in an additional direction. We transformed Freed to Run™ into a 24 hour run over a half mile track around the Duval County Justice Complex. And, having funded one initiative, we set out to fund another: Shelter for Elders. - to help protect and enhance civil legal aid services for indigent seniors, particularly as it relates to housing issues - reverse mortgage foreclosure, door-to-door scams and other civil legal issues that directly impact the ability of our seniors to age in place throughout Northeast Florida.
Join us November 23-24, 2023 as an individual or relay team to run 24 hours, 12 hours, the finish 5k, or the police-escorted bike ride from St. Johns County, and help us help our indigent senior neighbors, as we have helped the indigent pediatric community.
We welcome any individuals or organizations interested in participating, sponsoring or donating to reach out!
