Why #IRunForJim

Dear friends,

Three years ago, in a Russian prison, my legs were numb and swollen from lack of use. Then they started running. One step became a jog, then a run — a spontaneous circle around a tiny perimeter. I wasn’t a prisoner. I was alive. I was free in motion.

Join Team ALSU for the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation Freedom Run 2026. It honors journalists like James Foley, who was killed in 2014 for bearing witness. This is the smallest thing we can do for freedom — and for the safety of journalists. Freedom is not given. We run for it.

Please support me and the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation by running or walking with us in Prague on October 31, joining from wherever you are, or making a donation. Jim believed in the power of courageous journalism. Through the Freedom Run, we honor that legacy and help bring Americans home while protecting those who risk their lives to keep the public informed.

I’m grateful for your continued support.

With love,
ALSU
