By supporting the In My Running Shoes for the 2024 Philadelphia Marathon Weekend Charity Team you will help us advance our mission to keep people with chronic illnesses active and engaged in their communities. We are a 501(c)3 approved charity helping people with chronic diseases stay active by providing financial support, that is not provided by typical healthcare channels, to fund purchase medical devices, athletic equipment, training or rehabilitation.
We recognize the connection between physical activity and managing a lifelong chronic illness. Activities, such as running, are important to promoting our physical and mental well-being and are often a source of our social networks. We believe it is important for people with chronic illnesses to stay active and engaged in their communities, and we recognize that health insurance often does not cover all expenses to support this. We bridge this gap by writing grants to help people with chronic diseases fund the support they need to stay active.
Thank you for supporting our Team!!
