WHY LIFE RUNNERS? 60% of abortion-minded mothers choose life if they encounter ONE supportive person or encouraging message. With access to abortion in the mail and across state lines, LIFE Runners wear life-saving messages everywhere! Running optional, prayer required. 25,700+ teammates in 4,061 cities across 53 nations, delivering millions of messages with shirts (and jackets) that display the Trinity and “REMEMBER The Unborn”, preventing abortions and changing culture. Post-abortion parents wear this redemptive message for healing. 10,000+ students (K to college) wear these shirts at school to be heroically Pro-Life. Before the world introduces the lie of abortion, we reach youth with life-saving truth. All In Christ! Impact. History.
