Kids On The Move, a program of Sports Backers

Everyone has their WHY. So let’s give the next generation a reason to show their greatness. Let’s show them what many of us never got to witness or experience. Growing up in an under developed neighborhood I was not given the opportunity to be apart of different clubs in my community and my goal is to change that for the kids who are just like when i was that age.

Therefore, on April 28th and 29th, 7 teammates and I will be taking on Ragnar Trail Richmond at Pocahontas State Park. Our team will complete 122.4 miles in a relay-style race. This will not only be a physical feat but also a mental and emotional one as every team member will run at least one leg at night in the dark, on limited sleep. But we are doing it to raise money for Kids Run RVA, a program of Sports Backers. Kids Run RVA supports youth running and fitness clubs in the Richmond region, giving school aged kids an opportunity to train for and participate in a local race over the course of a fall and spring season. Kids Run provides resources for their coaches to foster a safe and fun environment to build up their young runners' physical endurance in order to be ready for race day. This program also helps youth overcome barriers to participation by offering complimentary race entries, covering the cost of transportation to and from the events, providing team t-shirts free of cost, and even outfitting youth in need with new running shoes.
