What is the Kaleb Fun Run?

The Kaleb Fun Run is a charity run created in memory of Kaleb Hochstedler. A boy full of energy who bravely battled leukemia at age 8 and passed away in 2020. More than just a sporting event, it is a movement of joy, generosity, and purpose.

 

From supporting the Children’s Institute at Hospital das Clínicas to building a sports court for children and teens in Bahia, with each event, people come together to run, walk, rally friends, and turn their efforts into tangible support.

The 2026 Cause

Let’s run for Casa Boas Novas, a prevention program of ABBA Brasil that supports children and teenagers through art, music, care, and meaningful relationships. This year, the funds raised will help renovate the space, purchase new musical instruments, and make improvements so Casa Boas Novas can continue offering a safe, creative, and welcoming environment.

How It Works

1. Sign up for free

Sign up and create your Runner Page to share with friends, family, and supporters.

2. Set your personal fundraising goal

Choose how much you hope to raise for the campaign. This helps your supporters understand your goal.

3. Invite people to sponsor your laps

Supporters can pledge an amount for each lap you complete. For example: R$5 per lap.

4. Run or walk on event day

On October 10, run or walk at your own pace. The organization will record your official number of laps.

5. After the race, donations are completed

Once the number of laps is confirmed, your supporters complete their donations based on the final result.

Quick example

Ana invited three friends
Each person agreed to donate R$5 per lap

On race day Ana completed 10 laps
Each friend donates
10 x R$5 = R$50

Total raised by Ana: R$150

Note: The per-lap donation is finalized after the race, once the official number of laps has been confirmed.

A race that is already bearing fruit

In the last edition, people ran, walked, donated, and supported the construction of the sports court at Casa Esperança in BahiaToday, that construction is already underway — a tangible result of everyone who participated. In 2026, we want to continue this story, this time in support of Casa Boas Novas.
