STORIES OF THE CHILDREN WE HELP
STORIES OF THE CHILDREN WE HELP
MEET DAVI, JOAQUIM & CAIO
Three children. Three stories. One purpose.
Davi, Joaquim and Caio remind us why Purpose Runners exists.
Through our running campaigns, our community came together not simply to cross a finish line, but to stand beside children and families facing extraordinary challenges.
Every registration, every donation and every mile helped turn a race into something greater — hope, support and real impact.

DAVI
A RACE TOWARD HOPE
While Davi was fighting cancer, his entire family was fighting alongside him.
His treatment required frequent travel between hospitals in different states, forcing his family to step away from work to focus on his care. During one of the most difficult chapters of their lives, Purpose Runners stepped in to help ease the financial burden, allowing the family to focus on what mattered most — Davi.
Today, Davi is a cancer survivor.
His story reminds us that sometimes a race is about much more than reaching a finish line. Sometimes, we run to help someone reach theirs.

JOAQUIM
GROWING MEANS NEW NEEDS
As Joaquim grew, so did his needs.
His family needed new mobility equipment and specially adapted chairs to provide him with greater comfort, safety and independence.
Through the Riverfront 6K, Purpose Runners brought the community together and raised funds to help his family purchase the equipment Joaquim needed.
Every registration became more than a race entry. Every mile helped move Joaquim forward.

CAIO
EVERY MILE MADE A DIFFERENCE
Caio needed new mobility equipment, an adapted bathing chair and other essential equipment to support his everyday needs.
That year, the Riverfront 6K had a purpose beyond the finish line: Caio.
Our runners, supporters and community came together to raise funds and help his family provide the equipment he needed for greater comfort, mobility and quality of life.
Hundreds ran one race so one child could have a better everyday life.

WHY WE RUN
Davi. Joaquim. Caio.
Different children. Different journeys. But each one represents what Purpose Runners Foundation was created to do.
We believe running has the power to bring people together — and that collective energy can be transformed into something meaningful for families who need it most.
We run for more than medals.
We run for families.
We run for hope.
We Run With Purpose.
“Sometimes, we run to help someone reach their finish line.”
