YaraStar's "Marathon in a Month" Challenge

This April, join us for Marathon in a Month, a challenge that proves the power of small, consistent steps which leads to incredible outcomes! 

Beginning April 1,  we walk, run, or roll 26.2 miles over 30 days—raising funds to double our impact to 50 scholarships for children with special needs and special children marginalized by poverty.

At the YaraStar Foundation, we believe all children are blessings, not burdens. Given the right opportunities, they can thrive, and together, we can make that happen! When you join this challenge, it is a WIN-WIN for you, as you get to:

1. Make a Difference: Your steps help provide education and therapy for children in need.💛
2. Achieve Your Goals: Build healthy habits while creating change! 💪
3. Get a Weekly Walking Buddy: Let’s keep each other motivated and moving toward personal victories.👟
4. Become a Fundraiser: Create your own fundraiser page and rally friends and family to support your walk
5. Unlock Milestone Badges: Every week your consistent steps or sprints leads you to victory
6. Meet the children: Top fundraisers get a chance to meet the very children their donation support

This is a virtual challenge.
Walk or Run, anytime & anyplace you want during April 2025.
International participants are welcomed!

Every mile matters. Every child matters. Are you in?

About YaraStar Foundation

The YaraStar Foundation was launched in April 1, 2022  in honor of Yara’s life and legacy; a spunky 3.5-year old with Down Syndrome who suddenly passed  4 years prior, on April 1, 2018. The Foundation provides scholarships to early intervention services for special-needs kids, as well as educational scholarships to marginalized kids, thereby giving them an opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential in this world.
