Rising Hearts is honored and grateful to host our 4th annual event and 2nd year in a row to support NIWRC, as well as Native Women’s Society of the Great Plains and Kola Shippentower Thompson of Enough iz Enough,  to bring the community together to honor, uplift, and send prayers for our missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, their families, and for the advocates within these spaces - their dedication and their heart work to support the families, communities, the advocacy and finding solutions to end this epidemic.

We have a big goal to give back in a big way!
Join us in this virtual run and events to help us raise $250,000 to give back to the communities in this work so that we can end the violence and systemic barriers that are happening and to run for justice and healing.

Run in solidarity! Wear red on May 5th and through the 9th. Uplift this movement and the heart work.

Let's continue to build community. Let's show up in whatever way we can. Let's support those in this work and the families. Let's find solutions to ending this epidemic.

“The current reports of abduction and murder of Native women and girls are alarming and represent one of the most horrific aspects of the spectrum of violence committed against Native women. The issues surrounding missing and murdered Native women must be brought into the public's awareness to increase accountability of the justice systems. Now is the time for action!” -Lucy Simpson, Diné, NIWRC Executive Director


"Running is medicine. Running is tradition. Running is healing. Running is prayer. Running is community. Indigenous people are known for running for the messages they carry for the prayers they carry for the tradition it brings. Running can help raise awareness of the things most important to us and to help build community through running. To acknowledge the past and what Native people have had to experience to be here today. We celebrate the present existence of Indigenous people and all the good medicine we bring to our relatives and our communities. As we look ahead we have the opportunity to dismantle current systems of oppression and racism and rebuild a better and visible future for our peoples and lands! Our relatives across Turtle Island (North America) are sharing so much of their heart work to support their communities and build a future for our next generations. This virtual race is to call people in and support these amazing initiatives and efforts."  Jordan Marie Daniel

Rising Hearts has collaborated with 6N Sporting Apparel!
6N comes from 6 Nations. The Iroquois Confederacy or Haudenosaunee is made up of 6 tribes Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida & Mohawk. In the 1700s Tuscarora was adopted into the Confederacy. Being Haudenosaunee owned business we take influence from our own culture and teachings. Sticking together and showing support for everyone. Which is why we are a completely custom apparel company as we have helped young Indigenous athletes raise tuition all across North America. If you'd like to purchase a T-Shirt please click on the button below!
