OUR MISSION
|
Our mission is to put custom designed Outrun shoes on kids battling Pediatric Cancer. Their shoes, their colors, their message, whatever empowers them to "outrun" whatever they feel like is chasing them. Fear. Doubt. Sickness. Worry. We want to strengthen them, give them a goal, and a finish line. As we say at Project Outrun, "When you 'outrun' cancer, it helps to have the right shoes."

Design nights
|
|
Once a month, since April 2017, we've been taking our Sneaker Squad to Akron Children's Hospital to work towards our goal. Our design nights consist of dinner, shoe design, and swag bags. Swag bags are filled with a Project Outrun t-shirt, as well as a personal finish line. Our finish lines are meant to encourage our kids to set and achieve goals. We tell the kids, "Set a goal; something big, something small. But when you achieve that goal, put on your Outrun Shoes, have mom or dad hold that finish line and bust through! Because nothing feels as good as running through a finish line."
