Your Impact: Turning Miles into Milestones

When you participate, you aren’t just finishing a race—you’re helping neighbors in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park cross the finish line into stable housing.

Essential Documentation: Obtaining IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates. Move-in Costs: Covering fees and deposits that often stand in the way of a new home. Home & Life Essentials Household Necessities: Providing items to turn a house into a home. Daily Support: Funding transportation passes and school supplies.
