Full Speed Challenge

Because together, we can speed up children’s recovery.

The Full Speed Challenge, presented by Novacap, is a virtual team fitness challenge where you rack up miles, steps, and donations to support pediatric research. It’s a way to push yourself and contribute to something that truly matters. This year, we’re aiming for $80,000 in donations—and we know that with your help, we can make it happen.
