Remembering Why We Run

On November 2nd, the CADV Marathon team will run a combined 131 miles in the TCS NYC Marathon. For our team, this is more than just a race -- each runner has committed to fundraise $3,000 for the Center's Relationships Are Elementary program.

Learn more about the team and support them here.

We'd like to stop and reflect on why our runners have spent these past months working so hard. While training to complete 26.2 miles next Sunday, our runners simultaneously raised funds to support the Center's Relationships Are Elementary program.

RAE arms third, fourth, and fifth graders with the tools they need to avoid becoming victims or perpetrators of teen relationship abuse and bullying.  The earlier we reach students, from both violent and non-violent homes, the better chance we have for laying the groundwork for healthy relationships.

We run because we believe that youth-based prevention programs are the solution to stop domestic violence in the future. We hope you'll support our marathon runners in solidarity with that belief.
