We invented GO HARD (Globally Organized Hug A Runner Day) back in 2011. We never expected it to take off like it did!

Since then, we have used Hug A Runner to raise awareness and thousands of dollars for some awesome organizations like Girls on the Run, Playworks, and Shoes That Fit. This year we are happy to be donating funds to support the American Society for Deaf Children.

The American Society for Deaf Children provides vital resources and educational opportunities to deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. Research shows that early experience and education with visual language can make a lifetime of difference is a child’s life. Your participation in this challenge will help bring these resources to more children and families needing visual language learning.
