Run, walk, or roll – you can now take part in the challenge of your choice to raise funds for Dreams! Turn any challenge into a fundraiser for Dreams or Dreams for Veterans. Or if you are ready for the experience of a lifetime, join the Dream Challenge Team and run in this year’s Berlin Marathon in September or the 50th Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC, this October, and help raise funds to make the final dreams of terminally-ill veterans come true. The Berlin Marathon starts and ends near the iconic Brandenburg Gate, and those who’ve run it say it has a carnival-like atmosphere. Entry is by lottery, and the lottery is now closed – but you can still join as part of Dream Foundation’s Dream Challenge Team! You could also earn your spot on the Dream Challenge Team for the Marine Corps Marathon. Run through cheering crowds past the National Mall, Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Hill, and the Marine Corps War Memorial. Because the MCM is organized by the Marines, it has a sense of ‘esprit de corps’ unlike any other race. And with this year marking the event’s 50th anniversary, it’s bound to be extra special. Can’t make it the MCM in person? No problem! It also offers a Virtual 10K, so you can take part no matter where you are.

Erica is facing the end of her life at just 24 – and her bravery is so moving. She says, “I just want to be able to live in the movement, even if it’s for a brief time.” Thank you to all our incredible supporters for helping her take her Dream trip to San Diego with her boyfriend. She says, “We had such an amazing time … the trip was definitely a Dream and I cannot express how appreciative I am. I just want to thank you again. It was definitely a trip that me and my fiancé will never forget.” Special thanks to Dana Horne Realty for helping with accommodations, Southwest Airlines and Turo for providing transportation, San Diego Zoo for giving the young couple a day to remember and our friends at Genentech for delivering everything provided for the Dream—along with their own thoughtful touches. #SouthwestHeart #Turo (fb)
