Every Runner Has a Reason: Share Your Story

The Casey Cares Foundation’s 5K Run & 1-Mile Walk is one of our most anticipated events of the year. Each summer, we look forward to welcoming runners, walkers, families and supporters to the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore for a morning filled with fun, community and a shared commitment to helping critically ill children and their families.

As we prepare for this year’s event, we are excited to bring back our Every Runner Has a Reason spotlight series.

Every person who signs up has a story. Some participants run in honor of a loved one. Some are celebrating a personal milestone or challenging themselves to reach a new goal. Others simply want to spend a meaningful morning with friends and family while supporting an important cause.

Throughout the summer, we will be highlighting participants and sharing the reasons that inspire them to lace up their running shoes, walk the course and support Casey Cares. We love hearing what motivates our runners and how it feels to take part in an event that helps create lasting memories for families navigating the challenges of a critical illness.

Whether this will be your first Casey Cares 5K or you join us year after year, we would love to hear your story.
