Richard's Run For Life Will Run With Miles For Moffitt
In 2003, Richard Gonzmart — 4th-generation caretaker of Tampa’s 1905 Family Of Restaurants — founded Richard’s Run For Life through the Gonzmart Family Foundation to fund cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. “So many of our lives have been touched by cancer,” Richard said. “My passion is to find a cure, and I’m motivated to help Moffitt save lives.”
In 2014, Richard launched Richard’s Father’s Day Walk/Jog, raising awareness for early detection and critical funds for prostate cancer research. Over the years, the two events brought together thousands of runners and raised more than $2.5 million for Moffitt.
In 2024, we pressed pause on our signature runs to give our hardworking team a well-earned breather — but our commitment to curing cancer hasn’t slowed down.
This year in addition to supporting Moffitt through our annual Community Harvest fundraiser, we're rallying as one for Miles for Moffitt, an inspiring race that unites survivors, families and friends to fund life-saving research. Our goal: raise $100,000 through Richard’s Run For Life to support Dr. Patrick Hwu's groundbreaking research at Moffitt, weaponizing the immune system to kill cancer.
