Freedom Run: The Race Against Poverty is dedicated to helping people living in abject poverty around the world. All net proceeds from the run are used to help build homes, facilities, and hope for families and communities in need. So far we have been able to build homes in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, The Philippines, and El Salvador.
