Story

#RunforRuth is a fun and free-to-participate challenge, and anyone can join in! This is your opportunity to help us raise awareness and funds for the much needed support for families with dependent children, who are facing the death of a parent.

40,000 children under the age of 18 are affected by the loss of a parent each year in the UK.

The Ruth Strauss Foundations mission is to help families access professional emotional support when facing the death of a parent from cancer , and drive the need for more research & collaboration in the fight against non-smoking lung cancer.

Our aim is to make it from Lords, London to Ruth's hometown in Australia. At a total of 10,446 miles we need everyone's help to get there!

There is no start date, route or rules - you can make your challenge just right for you. Join our #RunforRuth community and run or walk wherever you wish, whenever you like and with whichever family you choose, helping to support more families.
