On April 11, 2020, Freedom 4/24 will still be hosting the Run 4 Their Lives 5k; however, we have moved this event to a virtual setting due to the COVID-19 guidelines recommended by the CDC.
Please watch the video below from our President, Joy Cover, and Programs Coordinator, Rachael Smith explaining how COVID-19 affects Run 4 Their Lives Lynchburg and how we will proceed.
On April 11, we will Run 4 Their Lives in a virtual setting!
What is the Run 4 Their Lives Lynchburg Virtual 5k?
To practice social distancing while still being a voice for the voiceless, on April 11th at 9am we will Run 4 Their lives but from our own locations! You can walk, run, or even hop on the treadmill to bring freedom to girls like Natasha, Nicole, and Priscilla—victims, but now survivors, of sexual exploitation.
Why run a virtual 5k? Because there are still victims all around us.
In the midst of this chaos in our world, we still feel called to use our platform to advocate for victims of trafficking because they are still being sexually exploited, and we won't stop fighting for their freedom.
Our Run 4 Their Lives 5k races 1) raise awareness and 2) raise financial support for our partner organizations on the frontlines. The proceeds of the event help fight human trafficking and give victims of this injustice the support they need to be FREE.
