Run for charity:Ågrenska

Run for Ågrenska and you're running for children with rare health conditions and other disabilities!

Ågrenska is a national competence center for rare health conditions and other disabilities. We are non-profit and driven by a mission. Ågrenska's friendship association is a non-profit organization that raises funds to support children and youth visiting our facilities, allowing them to strengthen, receive support, and develop based on their circumstances and needs.

A participant in a group for young boys with diagnoses within the neuropsychiatric spectrum expresses it like this: 'What Ågrenska does is something I haven't seen anywhere else. It's too good to put into words, to be honest, it's like heaven on earth.'

Run for an extraordinarily good cause - run for Ågrenska

Run for charity:The fundraising foundation for Drottning Silvias barnsjukhus

The Fundraising Foundation for Drottning Silvia Children's Hospital works for all children, regardless of illness, so that they can play, dream, and laugh. Forget all the pain - at least for a little while.

The Foundation strives to bring joy to the children and families struggling in their daily lives at Sweden's largest children's hospital. When children and young people are affected by illness, environments, experiences, and activities that encourage play and laughter are needed—a reality that brings comfort and hope. Therefore, the foundation raises funds for initiatives that complement the hospital's regular care. It's what is needed all year round, every day, but cannot be financed with our public funds.

21 km for a more compassionate Gothenburg

Run in support of Göteborgs Stadsmission and ensure that children in Lövgärdet receive help with homework, individuals experiencing homelessness find food and community at the St. Johannes Church in Masthugget, and young adults in the city center receive support for their physical and mental health.

Göteborgs Stadsmission works toward a more humane society. Every day, we encounter people in vulnerable life situations and offer both immediate assistance and long-term support. With the support of generous locals, we provide everything from food and clothing to delightful summer camps, meaningful leisure activities, crucial support discussions, and much more.

Run for charity:WaterAid

WaterAid is an international organization working to transform lives through access to clean water, toilets, and hygiene education. We assist people in the world's poorest communities to achieve sustainable, long-term access to clean water and sanitation. Still, 703 million people lack clean water, and over 800 children die every day from diarrheal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. You can help change this by supporting WaterAid. Clean water changes everything, enabling people to take the first step out of poverty.

Run for charity:Ung Cancer

Being a young adult and living with or close to someone who has cancer is tough enough. Not receiving care, support, and information tailored to one's circumstances and needs makes the situation even more challenging. That's why Ung Cancer exists. We work to ensure that every young adult affected by cancer, or who is close to someone affected, receives the support and understanding they are entitled to.

Ung Cancer creates meeting places and opportunities for community during a time when it's easy to feel most alone in the world. We provide financial support to those struggling to make ends meet due to cancer, and we support rehabilitation efforts to pave the way forward.

Run for charity:Hjärnfonden

Hjärnfonden works for a society where all brains reach their full potential, free from disease. It is by contributing to research that we can change the lives of even more people.

Today, around 100,000 live with Alzheimer's, an incurable disease where research is crucial to finding answers. And that's just one of the brain's many diagnoses. More than one in four Swedes suffer from depression at some point, someone has a stroke every 20 minutes, 1.5 million suffer from migraines and every year around 75,000 are absent from work due to stress-related mental illness. And everyone gets hit at some point. If it's not us, it's someone in the family. Or a friend. Therefore, your contribution to brain research is needed. So that more people can live more. And longer.
