Last year, our team of peer-to-peer fundraisers brought in over $20,000!  We’d love to have you join our team of fundraisers by creating your own page, sharing your link with friends & family and asking them to make a donation to your page.  Share your Who Will You Walk/Run/Move for story on your page and help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance abuse. More than 1 in 5 adults living in America experience a mental illness.  We’re all impacted.

All fundraisers who raise $500 or more will be entered into a raffle for a $100 Downtown Middletown gift card, redeemable at more than 90 restaurants, shops and venues.

About TEAM GILEAD

The Run for Every 1 is an initiative Gilead began in 2014 to bring our clients, staff, families, and community members together through a shared dedication to TEAM GILEAD.  In 2020 & 2021, the annual April Run for Every 1 in Middletown was not to be. So we switched gears to a virtual event and moved alone but stay connected. During the weeklong event, we received over 350 photos and videos showcasing how our team members were moving for mental health – yoga, walking, headstands, swimming and so much more! In 2022 we were thrilled to be able to once again meet up and walk or run together in Middletown as well offering a virtual option for those not ready to meet in person or who may live too far.  In 2024, we celebrated 10 years of the event!
