Hi, I’m Alexis Ardovitch, a sports physical therapist, and I’m incredibly grateful to share that I’ve been invited to travel to Kenya in January 2026 with Running The Race, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering athletes and coaches through sports medicine, injury prevention, and education.

Why This Trip Matters

East Africa is home to some of the most talented athletes in the world—but access to consistent sports-medicine care, injury prevention, and performance education can be limited. Running The Race partners with local communities to fill that gap by bringing clinicians directly to the athletes who need it most.

As a clinician who believes in service, equity, and the power of an active life, this work means a lot to me. On this trip, I’ll be helping with medical clinics, athlete evaluations, injury-prevention workshops, and on-field support alongside an incredible team of sports-medicine volunteers.

Where Your Donation Goes

I want to be fully transparent. 100% of your donation will go directly toward my travel to Kenya so I can participate in this mission.

This includes:

My round-trip flight to Kenya

Necessary internal travel required to physically get me to the communities we’re serving

None of the funds go toward personal spending, souvenirs, or anything unrelated to the mission.

Your support gets me on the ground so I can provide hands-on care to athletes who often go without it.

If donations exceed my goal, all additional funds will be used to purchase supplies for the athletes — items like therabands, massage balls, tape, and other tools that help support their training and rehab needs.

What Your Support Makes Possible

How You Can Help

Thank you so much for supporting this mission, believing in this work, and helping me show up for athletes who deserve access to care. I’m grateful for every person who joins me in making this possible. Even a small contribution makes a meaningful impact.

With gratitude,

Alexis
