For the past 30 years World Runners has helped people, especially women and children, improve the quality of their lives.
To date we have raised and donated over 7 million reaching hundreds of families.
Major World Runner’s milestones include the Moscow Peace Marathons through the 1980′s. One thousand runners raised two million dollars for organizations combating world hunger. The message of a joint U.S.-Soviet partnership for a better world reached hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
The Save the Children Relays involved 25,000 participants who raised over $1 million for child health programs in the U.S. and internationally. Over 100,000 children were immunized against fatal childhood diseases. Two transcontinental relays carried the child survival messages throughout the U.S. and 10 other nations, gaining proclamations from scores of national, state and local governments.
Other major fundraising campaigns raised over $4 million through teams running for pledges at the Boston, Oakland, New York and other major marathons, as well as hundreds of other large and small events.
