Medal Monday Vibes 🏅✨
Congratulations to everyone who ran LB Marathon yesterday, great morning for a long run! All those early morning runs, late runs, and scarifies leading up to race day, pushing yourselves through the finish. You did it! We are proud of everyone that lined up and we are so proud of our Strides in Recovery team.

We saw so many friends out on the course and had a blast cheering all morning. Cheering is a sport! 📣 👏🏽 Wear your medals with the most pride, running long distance is so small feat. Happy medal Monday to those who celebrate, see you next year ♥️

Impact Gala 2026 ✨ last night Leslie Gold, founder of Strides in Recovery and E, Strides in Recovery Program Director attended the annual Impact Gala. This evening was held at The Wende Museum in Culver City, celebrating recovery and the lives transformed through structure, hope, and opportunity. 💛

The night was filled with powerful stories, a delightful dinner, auction, and most importantly a shared purpose in helping those on their road to recovery. For over 55 years, Impact has helped people overcome addiction and build healthy meaningful lives in recovery. Funds raised through The Impact Gala will directly support individuals as they receive addiction treatment, stabilize in recovery, and work toward healthy, independent futures. ✨ It was an honor to be present for such an incredible event, thank you for having us and thank you for your continued support for Strides in Recovery 💛

RUNNING WITH PURPOSE: MEET WENDY!

This Sunday will mark Wendy’s 4th year running the Palos Verdes Trails 5K with her son!

As Wendy says, she may not run trails like she used to due to injuries, and her son has never been a huge fan of running—but the beauty of this course and the worthy cause it supports keeps bringing them back year after year.

And honestly…who doesn’t want to see horses and run through tunnels?!

We’re so grateful to have legacy runners like Wendy showing us that running is about so much more than pace or distance. It’s about community, connection, and having a reason to keep showing up.
