Story
The A-T Children's Project invites you to race with us toward a cure by participating in our virtual marathon - Postcards of Hope!
First, be sure to register for free on our website to participate! Walk, run, roll or hike your way through 26.2 miles in June. (Or set a different goal for yourself!) Each mile represents a real place named Hope. (Did you know there are 26 cities in the United States named Hope and 26.2 miles in a marathon?)
After you register, create your fundraising page by clicking "Start Fundraising" and join an existing team or create your own team.
How you choose to complete your 26.2 is up to you! Run it all in one day, a few days or split it up among friends and family.
Throughout the entire month of June, we'll be cheering you on with virtual postcards of hope and videos from A-T families across America.
There's no fundraising minimum for this race. However, those who raise at least $100 will receive an event t-shirt and medal!

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), is a genetic disease that causes loss of muscle control and balance, cancer, lung disease and immune system problems in children and young adults, shortening their lives. The non-profit A-T Children's Project partners with academic and industry investigators worldwide organizing and supporting innovative research, conferences, clinical teams, data platforms and biomarkers to optimize disease management strategies, develop new treatments and find a cure.
