About WeRunWithYou and Our Mission

WeRunWithYou is a non-profit organization founded by Kathy Nguyen and her husband, Rob Alvarez, to support brain aneurysm survivors. The statistics show that 1 in 50 people have an unruptured aneurysm. Kathy was one in 50 and on March 8th, 2015 she suffered a rupture. This experience motivated Kathy to start #RunLAwithKathy and WeRunWithYou.

Our mission is to improve the lives of people suffering from brain injury and disease by funding research to improve patient outcomes, raising awareness, and providing support for survivors and their families. We utilize our love for running and endurance sports to fuel this mission.

Be one of the 'We' and make a difference!

After seven years of running the Los Angeles Marathon, we have decided to change things up and move our Annual Fundraiser to the 'City of Brotherly Love' - the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend!

The main goal for this event remains the same: continue to raise money to give a research grant each year, focused on improving rehabilitation opportunities for brain injury and stroke survivors. So we invite you to join us for a fun-filled weekend on Nov 22-24 and run the streets of Philly. Choose distances from the 8K, half, and full marathon, or run ALL three distances. Join our team and help us make a difference!

Don't want to RUN? No problem!! You can still join in on the fun and FUNraise!

Thank you to our generous partners who help support our mission.-2.png
