About

Running With Reginald is a project rooted in adventure and giving back. What began as a means to expand my own cultural perspective and create a dialogue around mental health, philosophy, and mindfulness, quickly grew into something more.

After carrying a stuffed bear on my back for the better part of a year, I began to understand the positive impact a silly gesture could have on the people we met along the way. I wanted to continue sharing that joy in a more direct way, that would not only connect me to the community, but also allow me to provide others with the comfort and creativity of stuffed animals. And thus…Running With Reginald was born! A 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to supplying new/unused stuffed animals to underprivileged children around the world. Each year, I will embark on 2-3 running projects with Reginald, fundraise throughout the lead-up and execution of each, and then use the funds to collect and donate toys to children’s hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses, schools, and care centers in the region.

The importance of play, childhood development, and access to toys is something that will always be of need globally, and creating a meaningful difference in the lives of others doesn’t have to be complicated.

By donating and engaging with the project, you can help us spread happiness on both a local and international scale.
