Runnin' for Rhett Non-Profit

Runnin' for Rhett Non-Profit Rhett Seevers was born on February 7, 1997. His proud parents, Beth and Randy Seevers brought home their bundle of joy to join their family of four.

OUR GOAL is to LET RHETT's STORY INSPIRE those who feel defeated, UPLIFT those who feel down and ENCOURAGE all to take that first step and MOVE INTO LIFE - www.runninforrhett.org At four months, they were devastated by the news that their little boy had severe cerebral palsy and would face a life full of challenges. They dove in headfirst and learned all they could about his disabilities. On March

13, 2004, after 7 years of full-time care, love and devotion, Rhett passed away at home unexpectedly with his family by his side. In the spring of 2005, as the anniversary of Rhett’s death approached, a friend of Beth’s introduced her to running. She learned of the 1st annual Shamrock’n ½ marathon. It was ironically being held on the first anniversary of Rhett’s passing. Completing the run was such an inspiration to Beth. The following year, she asked that her friends and family join her. Join her they did; 35 additional friends and family donned the first baby blue running shirts that year. In the spring of 2007, with the addition of an organized training group, over 125 people participated in the race. On December 7, 2007, the “Runnin’ for Rhett Non-Profit” was founded. The organization has now inspired 1000’s of youth and adults in the Sacramento area. In Rhett’s short life, he inspired many people with his infectious smile and will to live, but with his challenges, he could not walk, run or jump – no matter how hard he tried. After Rhett’s death, Beth and Randy dedicated their memory of Rhett to utilizing FITNESS and MOVING to help others – do what Rhett wanted to do so badly but couldn’t. Our goal is to LET RHETT’S STORY INSPIRE those who feel defeated, UPLIFT those who feel down and ENCOURAGE ALL TO take that first step, like Beth did in the spring of 2005, and MOVE INTO LIFE.

Bay to Breakers 2026: “Sea of BLUE” 🐟🐠🎣🐳🧜🏼‍♀️

A bucket list race for a lot of us and an annual race for others, Bay to Breakers was INSANE! So much fun, so many costumes, and yes, lots of naked dudes 😂😳. We were entertained the entire 12/15K.

Our “Under the Sea Blue Crew” had a blast and dressed the part, bubbles and all.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the event and the weekend festivities!

Also, thanks to Michelle Plato for the bracelets (we love them) and congrats to Christie, Josh and Teresa for running the 15K!

More weekend photos coming soon. We’ve been busy!

Rhett’s dad, Randy, stopped at Chick-fil-A tonight. He was greeted by Sophia at the cash register. Sophia told him she remembered Runnin' for Rhett so fondly from when she was a 4th-6th grade student at Raymond Case elementary. The R4R Youth Fitness Program helped her gain confidence in herself. She said she graduated from Monterey Trails High School and now attends college at nearby CRC. She said she loves being fit and “walks everywhere”. Thanks for saying “hi” tonight, Sophia!
