8.17 Miles to send high schoolers on life-changing travel abroad programs  — Move with Purpose, Empower Our Youth

This August, join the Live Like Leo Foundation for our annual 8.17 Miles Virtual Challenge, running from August 1–18, 2025, in honor of Leo’s birthday on 8/17/25.

Walk or run a total of 8.17 miles, or for you athletes, punch up 17+ miles —wherever you are, at your pace, indoors or outside, solo or with a team. Every mile you move helps raise funds to send deserving junior high school students on transformative travel abroad programs, life-changing experiences that build confidence, broaden horizons, and shape future leaders.
