This is the 14th annual relay for Rachael! The Relay for Rachael was started in 2010 by Rachael’s friends to raise funds for her out-of-pocket medical expenses after she broke her neck in a car accident, leaving her a quadriplegic.
Most of Rachael’s days are spent exercising and moving as she tries to gain back strength and independence. Not only does your donation give her hope, but allows her to stay in good health, both mentally and physically.
The runners are training hard and hit highway 1 in part of the Big Sur Marathon on Sunday, April 28th, 2024 to run their hardest for her recovery.
She is forever grateful for their amazing support and yours!
You can donate to an individual runner or team below.
Help us reach our goal GOAL of $70k (The cost of Rachael‘s care and therapy on top of the state funded assistance programs).
GOAL REACHED!!!
Thank you for BEing THE LIGHT!
