Why we're running the Miami Marathon 2026 for Chai Lifeline

In 2025, Henry and I ran the Miami Marathon for the very first time—and we did it in support of Chai Lifeline. What started as a personal challenge quickly became something much deeper and more meaningful. That experience changed us.

Chai Lifeline is more than just a cause—it’s a community of hope, healing, and unwavering support for children battling serious illnesses and the families who walk alongside them. Their work—whether it’s hospital visits, emotional counseling, summer camps, or sibling support—brings light during life’s most difficult moments.

Running last year gave us a glimpse into the strength and resilience of these incredible kids and families. It inspired us in ways we never expected. That’s why we’re back for 2026—more committed than ever to running not just for ourselves, but for those who inspire us with their courage every day.

This year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: to raise $25,000 for Chai Lifeline.

Every mile we run will be for the children and families who need this support. Every dollar raised will help Chai Lifeline continue the life-changing work they do every single day. We know this goal is big—but so is the impact we can make together.

We hope you’ll be part of this journey with us. Whether through a generous donation, words of encouragement, or simply sharing our story, your support helps bring strength and comfort to families who need it most.

Thank you for believing in this mission. Thank you for helping us make a difference.

With heartfelt gratitude
Leanne and Henry
