Introducing the Lazarus House

2020 Great Western Freedom 4 Virtual Run/Ride/Walk-a-Thon Fundraiser

August 1st - August 31st

Lazarus House usually hosts an annual Great Western Freedom 4 Run/Walk on July 4th as an important part of the fundraising efforts necessary for Lazarus House. They were unable to host the Great Western Freedom 4 Run/Walk as a live event this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  Therefore, Lazarus House has decided to turn the live event into a whole new type of fundraising event that does not require gatherings.

Join the fun and support Lazarus House by  running, riding, and walking as much as you want, when you want, and where you want, as a fundraiser to support Lazarus House during the month of August. You can target one day or as many days during the month of August as you wish. 

Participate as an individual, join a team, or become a Team Captain and gather your friends/family to fundraise together, while maintaining social distancing! Participants will earn prizes for their fundraising and participation efforts. There will also be Pop-up challenges on social media to earn even more prizes!
