Freed to Run™ started in 2016 as a six marathons in six days point to point relay, from Tallahassee to Jacksonville, courthouse to courthouse, with teams covering the distance by taking turns throughout the day.
For the next 7 years, Freed to Run™ raised money and awareness to support pediatric patients and their families in navigating legal obstacles that often impede their health outcomes. The result: $2.25 million raised and placed in an endowment to fully fund the North Florida Medical Legal Partnership.
This year Freed to Run will be fundraising for Shelter for Elders. - to help protect and enhance civil legal aid services for indigent seniors, particularly as it relates to housing issues - reverse mortgage foreclosure, door-to-door scams and other civil legal issues that directly impact the ability of our seniors to age in place throughout Northeast Florida.
