Our Mission
RunFree2030 seeks to ensure that no child born with clubfoot is denied the life-changing treatment they deserve.
Our Mission
RunFree2030, launched by the Global Clubfoot Initiative (GCI), is a global strategy to end clubfoot disability. In low and middle-income countries (LMIC), nearly 200,000 babies are born with clubfoot each year. Yet, less than 1 in 5 of these babies will access the life-changing treatment that would enable their full participation in life. It's our mission to change this narrative.

Our Purpose
Clubfoot, a common musculoskeletal birth defect, is entirely preventable and treatable. However, many children in LMIC are unable to access clubfoot treatment. Left untreated, clubfoot leads to pain, difficulty walking, stigma, and exclusion from educational, social, and economic opportunities.
RunFree2030 seeks to address this injustice and ensure that no child is denied the life-changing treatment they deserve.
