Miles That Matter

09/23/2025

What an unforgettable day at Miles That Matter 2025. Nearly 70 runners and walkers and 14 incredible vendors came together to celebrate community, empowerment, and global sisterhood. From the starting line to the festival, the energy was inspiring—and together we created real impact for girls in Tanzania.

Thank you to every runner, walker, donor, vendor, volunteer, and supporter who made this event possible. This is only the beginning. One mile at a time, we are empowering futures.
