About WeRunWithYou and Our Mission
WeRunWithYou is a nonprofit organization founded by Kathy Nguyen and her husband, Rob Alvarez, to uplift and empower brain aneurysm survivors and their families. The numbers are staggering: 1 in 50 people live with an unruptured brain aneurysm. On March 8, 2015, Kathy became one of them when her aneurysm ruptured, a life-altering moment that could have ended everything, but instead sparked a powerful new beginning.
Out of that experience came #RunLAwithKathy and eventually, WeRunWithYou, a movement of resilience, compassion, and action.
Our mission is clear: to improve the lives of those affected by brain injury and disease. We do this by funding groundbreaking research, raising critical awareness, and providing hope and support to survivors and their loved ones. And we power this mission with our passion for running and endurance sports, because every mile run is a step toward healing, understanding, and change.
Join us as we turn adversity into action and run for those who can’t...yet.
Be one of the 'We' and make a difference!
We’re Back! And Philly Better Be Ready!
WeRunWithYou is thrilled to return to the City of Brotherly Love for another unforgettable Philadelphia Marathon Weekend as we cap off our Annual Fundraiser!
Our mission is ambitious and unwavering: raise funds to award a $25,000 research grant every year, driving innovation in rehabilitation science. And this year, we’re going even bigger.
Mark your calendars for November 21–23 and be part of an electric weekend packed with energy, purpose, and community. Whether you’re running the 8K, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon, lace up and hit the streets of Philly with us!
