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.
