Our mission at Live Run Give LLC is to create fun, food-themed events and while giving back to Breast Cancer Charities. Portion of proceeds will benefit METAvivor:
METAvivor is dedicated to the specific fight of women and men living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. At the time of METAvivor’s founding, no organization was dedicated to funding research for the disease and no patient groups were speaking out about the dearth of stage 4 cancer research. While more and more people have taken up the cry for more stage 4 research, METAvivor remains the sole US organization dedicated to awarding annual stage 4 breast cancer research.
Are there hills? No. Whew!
Water on the course? Yes! We will have water situated around mile 1.5
Do I have to be a runner? Nope, you can absolutely walk!
Are there group/corporate discounts? Yes, please email us [email protected]
