Welcome to the 5th annual Run for Romania webpage!

Join us virtually or at a pop-up location (see 'Pop Ups & Events' tab) on Saturday May 6, 2023 to run, walk or jog in support of Impact Romania.  Our 2023 goal is to raise $30,000 to go directly towards the building of a new "multi-purpose facility".  This new building will create a positive space for workshops, training, team building, family-style activities and events involving the hundreds of Romanian orphans, children and adults with exceptionalities that we minister to annually.  The building itself will be fully accessible and open, with spacious bathrooms to accommodate participants with physical limitations.

Past participants may recall that our original plan was to build a new barn but over the last two years our needs have changed to include the increased number of  children and adults with exceptionalities that have asked for support and help.  The reality in Romania is that individuals with special needs are normally the last people who received needed help and support from the community and government.  We have recently gained access to a specially equipped vehicle capable of transporting many people in wheelchairs.  We have hosted many of these groups and with the building of this new multi-purpose facility can host many more regularly.  This new facility will enable Impact Romania to reach more vulnerable individuals and show them God's love.

Thank-you for considering your participation as either a donor, participant or team leader!  If you have any questions, you can e-mail me (Bob) at robert.fukumoto@iteams.ca or text/call me at 416-816-3815
