Fred’s Big Run is a free, virtual challenge during August each year.

Focus on your wellbeing and help restore sight to needlessly blind people at the same time.


This free app allows you to keep track of your distance challenge and share your efforts with your team, family and friends. The app keeps you all virtually united in your efforts to run together and raise money to help restore sight.

As little as $25 can restore sight to a needlessly blind person.

Sign up to Fred’s Big Run now and we will email you a personal code to access this app.

Start the app for each run, walk, swim or cycle and stop after you have completed your exercise.

Sync your account with the Health app (HealthKit) to read and track your workout data and calculate your leaderboard score.

We will be celebrating with you each milestone during the month of August.

Unlock your personal Augmented Reality (AR) filter for milestones reached and receive a personalized AR medal at the end of your challenge to celebrate with your supporters and followers.

And don’t forget – the 2021 Fred’s Big Run T-shirt is waiting for the first 3,000 participants, who raised enough money to restore sight to 10 needlessly blind people – so Lace up. Step up. Restore Sight!
