Give Kids the Chance to Run Their Own Race

For a child managing diabetes, every day can feel like a race against the odds — constant monitoring, tough decisions, and moments where they just want to feel like any other kid. Your gift helps change that.

The Great Run Austin is proud to benefit the Pony Express Marathon Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children facing diabetes with the resources, care, and community they deserve. Every donation goes directly toward programs that ease the daily burden of this disease — helping kids feel stronger, supported, and free to just be kids.

Your $100 gift can:

Help fund diabetes education and support programs for a child and their family
Provide resources that ease the day-to-day burden of managing a chronic condition
Give a child the tools and confidence to thrive — on the course and off
Because Pony Express Marathon Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Run a mile. Change a life. Every donation brings us closer to a future where diabetes doesn't hold any child back.
