About the Running for Reading 5k & Kidney Disease Awareness
According to the NLM, health literacy represents the communication among patients, their social networks, providers, and health systems to promote patients’ understanding and engagement in their care. This is especially relevant for complex conditions like kidney disease.
​
After losing a loved one to kidney disease, The Dream Big Foundation ensured that health literacy was included in our mission to bring reading wellness to our communities.
This isn’t just a race, it’s a movement. Lace up your running shoes and join a powerful community coming together to uplift young readers and raise critical awareness for kidney disease. Every mile you run helps put books into the hands of children, fuels their dreams, and supports families affected by kidney disease. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation makes a real difference. Together, let’s turn passion into impact, steps into hope, and finish strong for education and kidney health!
