Why We Run

Since 2016, the Race for Hope has united the community around the vital cause of donation and transplantation. Funds raised support:

Donor family programs
Public education on organ and tissue donation
Research and development initiatives

Held at LifeNet Health’s global headquarters and neighboring Tidewater Community College, the Race welcomes participants from across Hampton Roads — including donor families, recipients, sponsors, employees, and friends — all celebrating the gift of life.
