Run With Strides 4 Gianluca

Every mile makes a difference.

Strides 4 Gianluca is taking on races of every distance—from local 5Ks to world-class marathons—to raise awareness for cerebral palsy (CP) and inspire communities to join our mission.

As an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to increase awareness of cerebral palsy while supporting individuals and families affected by CP. Funds raised through our races help:

  • Grow cerebral palsy awareness and advocacy.
  • Support the Strides 4 Gianluca Scholarship Fund.
  • Assist families living with cerebral palsy.
  • Contribute to CP research organizations and treatment initiatives.
  • Fund future programs and community outreach projects.

Our incredible team of runners is dedicating their miles to making a lasting impact, and we’d love for you to be part of the journey.

If you’re unable to run with us, you can still make a difference by supporting one of our runners or making a donation to Strides 4 Gianluca. Every contribution—no matter the size—helps us continue our mission and is sincerely appreciated.
