WHY IT MATTERS

Let’s be honest. With everything going on in the world, turning on the news can make you want to run away from civilisation.(Or at least power walk angrily in the opposite direction.)We get it — the problems out there feel endless.

But here’s the surprising part:Some of the world’s most serious issues are not impossible to fix.In fact, a few of them are shockingly solvable.So instead of running away, we’re choosing to run towards the problems where we can actually make a difference.But let’s be real — figuring out how to help is harder than it should be.There’s a cause, campaign, ribbon, or wristband for just about everything. You can sponsor your mate’s facial hair, buy your nephew’s fundraiser cookies (that taste like cardboard), or adopt a goat with commitment issues.We’re not against local fundraisers or feel-good causes. But we believe giving should be about what actually works.We’re all for good intentions. But we're even more interested in good outcomes.

What sets us apart?

Run Your Age supports organisations that don’t just sound good — they do good.These organisations take on big, underfunded problems like malaria, extreme poverty, and child health.They back their work with serious evidence and deliver clear, measurable impact.
