Hello amazing community!!!

I am running the 2024 Berlin Marathon in support of Free to Run.

This year, I will be running the Berlin marathon to raise funds and awareness for Free to Run - an impactful organization expanding access to sports and leadership programs for displaced and refugee girls in conflict areas.

Free to Run's mission resonates deeply with my personal values around empowerment through sports. Their programs are shifting community gender norms by enabling adolescent girls and minority youth to build confidence and wellbeing through running, while advocating for equal rights to public spaces.

My goal is to run all 26.2 miles of this marathon while keeping Free to Run's mission in my heart. I aim to raise $5,000 to directly support their work with many young girls globally each year.

100% of the raised funds will allow Free to Run to keep driving sustainable, systematic change in gender equality for future generations to come.

As I begin this running journey, I humbly ask you to consider donating or sharing my fundraiser with your network. Every small action to spread the word makes a huge difference. I will be updating you about this wonderful life changing organization.

With gratitude,

Francia E. Wisnewski
