Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - 12 of 50 Half Marathons in 50 States - Mississippi

The 12th event in the Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents series takes place in Mississippi. Bob, founder of Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter, will run a half marathon, and supporters can join virtually from any location. This series is a 50-state half marathon effort, with one race held each month. Participants can run, walk, or move in their own communities to support the cause, as the event does not center on a single public course or start line. The series aims to raise awareness about parental alienation, family court practices that separate children from a parent, and the necessity for children to have reasonable access to both parents. It highlights that unnecessary parent-child separation can lead to long-term emotional, psychological, and developmental harm. Proceeds from this Mississippi run will directly benefit Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter. Contributions will fund a national advisory board of legal and mental health professionals, a public awareness campaign, research into custody trends and parental alienation, and educational materials for families.
