Making strides against the financial burden of breast cancer one mile at a time.
Miles For Moms is a nonprofit based in Massachusetts that raises awareness and funds for woman fighting the disease of breast cancer and the massive financial burden that accompanies it.
Ways to Get Involved
How It Started
In September 2020, my mom Rachel was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer for the second time. As a runner, I started a Miles for Moms fundraiser right after her diagnosis to help with her treatment and raise awareness for a disease that affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. I ran one mile for every US$25 raised during October, completing 256 miles and raising US$7,500 for Rachel's care and breast cancer research. Today, Rachel is healthy and back to running!
Since then, the Miles for Moms event has grown every year. In 2024, we raised over US$8,000 and donated all proceeds to our chosen beneficiaries and hosted our second annual event at Great Brook State Park. Every dollar and mile completed makes a real difference. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past five years!
We look forward to seeing you this year at the DCR Great Brook Farm State Park in Carlisle, MA, or virtually, to support those fighting breast cancer.
