You don’t need a finish line to move forward.
You don’t need a crowd to make an impact.
And you don’t have to be a runner to make a difference.
This September, Faith and Blessings Foundation invites you to participate in the Stride for Strength: PCOS Awareness 5K — a 100% virtual event that brings us together, wherever you are, for one powerful cause: supporting the emotional and financial needs of those building their families through IVF, surrogacy, and adoption.
👟 How the Virtual 5K Works
This year’s event is completely virtual — which means you can participate from anywhere, at your own pace.
✅ Run, walk, bike, or roll
✅ Indoors or outdoors
✅ Solo, with a friend, or as a team
✅ Anytime between September 1–30, 2025
There’s no official clock and no wrong way to show up. The only goal is movement with meaning.
🎽 What’s Included With Registration
All registered participants will receive:
- 🏅 A custom Stride for Strength 5K medal
- 👕 An exclusive 5K race t-shirt
- 📬 Both mailed directly to you the first week of October
These tokens aren’t just souvenirs, they’re reminders that you stepped forward in support of someone’s future family.
🎯 Our Goal: 200 Runners. 1 Cause.
We’re aiming for 200 participants this year! 200 voices united for fertility visibility, emotional healing, and community care.
Whether you’ve experienced fertility challenges firsthand or want to support someone who has, your registration makes an impact. Every dollar raised helps fund:
- 🧡 Care packages for fertility warriors
- 🧡 Emotional wellness support
- 🧡 Grants for IVF, surrogacy, and adoption journeys
“You may be walking your own path — but you’re never walking alone.”
🗓️ Registration Is Now Open Through September 30!

You have the entire month of September to complete your 5K — on your own schedule, in your own way. No pressure. Just purpose.
💬 Why This 5K Matters So Much
The 5K for Fertility is more than a race. It’s a declaration of love for:
- Those silently navigating IVF cycles
- Individuals recovering from loss or failed transfers
- Parents waiting to adopt
- Partners and supporters walking beside their loved ones
- Everyone holding onto hope
By moving your body, even one mile at a time, you’re helping make the invisible visible.
💌 Make It Meaningful
This year, we invite participants to personalize their race:
- 💛 Dedicate your 5K to someone you love
- 💛 Wear a sign with your “why” or your fertility warrior’s name
- 💛 Post your walk/run on social media using #StrideforStrength2025
- 💛 Invite others to sponsor your steps as a donation
This is a powerful way to honor your own story or uplift someone else’s.
🙌 You Belong Here. And You’re Making a Difference.
Whether you walk in memory, run for joy, or simply move because you can; you’re part of something bigger. You’re helping someone feel seen, supported, and strong.
So lace up those shoes. Set your own pace. And take one beautiful, intentional step forward.
Let’s run — for restoration, for resilience, for the families still being built.
