8.17 Miles to Empower Our Youth: Travel, Athletics & Scholarships 💪🏻 Move with Purpose
This August, join the Live Like Leo Foundation for our annual 8.17 Miles Virtual Challenge, honoring Leo’s (17th) birthday on August 17th. From August 1–18, 2026, walk, jog, or run your way to supporting transformative opportunities for young people.

🏃‍♀️ Move your way — anywhere, anytime.

Complete 8.17 miles at your pace — indoors or outside, solo or with friends. For the overachievers... go the extra distance and aim for 17+ miles!

🌍 Why We Move: Expanding Our Impact

Every mile you complete directly funds the Live Like Leo Foundation’s growing mission to empower the next generation. Your participation support goes toward:

Transformative Travel: Sending deserving students on life-changing international travel programs to build confidence and expand worldviews.
Athletic Programs & Facilities: Providing critical athletic funding—like our recently completed community batting cages—to ensure young athletes have the facilities they need to play, grow, and thrive.
Educational Scholarships: Investing directly in students' futures to help them chase their academic and leadership dreams.
