Speed For Need
Our Partnership
Run For Holland is excited to announce our partnership with Speed For Need. The MISSION of SPEED FOR NEED is to raise awareness and foster inclusion of those with a special need through participation in fitness events supported by the men of F3 Nation. Simply put, our goal is to help people get to the finish line and finish the race… their race.
At our core, we push TRACK COMMANDERS (riders with needs that are special) in customized racing wheelchairs to help them participate and complete fitness events such as 5Ks, 10Ks, or marathons. Our goal is to give them an experience that they would not otherwise be able to have on their own accord. Inevitably, our track commanders are the ones that are actually pushing us though. They are inspiring us to step up, engage, and lead. They are motivating us to become better people, better servants, and better leaders. Our track commanders lead the way in every Speed for Need, Inc event. It is that unique, symbiotic relationship between the track commanders, the drivers, and all of those people running and spectating that help to raise awareness for social causes, foster inclusion, and connect the track commanders to the overall fitness community. So the question stands…Who Pushes Who?
At this years race we will have volunteers from F3 (Fitness Fellowship and Faith) and FiA (Females in Action) pushing FOUR chairs with local riders with disabilities. If you want to get involved please email Bryan Thayer for more info.
