Hi, I’m Johnny Soria — a proud Peruvian-American runner, Seventh-day Adventist, and someone who knows firsthand the life-changing power of support during hard times.

In 2026, I’ll be running the Tokyo Marathon representing ADRA Japan, a humanitarian organization that provides critical aid and disaster relief to vulnerable communities across Japan. This will also be my sixth World Marathon Major, and I want every step to mean something bigger than a finish line.

When I was growing up in Peru during the economic crisis of the 1990s, ADRA helped families like mine. Now, I have the opportunity to give back—this time by running and raising funds to support ADRA Japan’s projects: helping those affected by natural disasters, providing social assistance to struggling families, and giving hope where it’s needed most.

This mission is deeply personal to me. I currently serve and work for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Columbia Union territory, and I believe in using every gift we have—including running—to lift others up.

Your donation, no matter the size, will directly support ADRA Japan’s life-saving programs. If you’ve ever believed in running with purpose, this is your chance to be part of that purpose.

Thank you for believing in this cause. Let’s bring hope—together.
