Students, families and community members gathered at the Liberty Indoor Track Complex April 18 for the annual Run 4 Their Lives 5K, an event hosted by Freedom 4/24 to raise awareness and funds in the fight against human trafficking.

Held in conjunction with the Thrive LYH Health and Wellness Expo, the event began with the 5K race at 9 a.m., followed by an expo featuring more than 60 local vendors and resources focused on well-being. The events highlighted the urgency of combating trafficking and the importance of strengthening communities through education and holistic health.

Freedom 4/24’s mission traces back to Liberty University alumna Christine Gelatt, who started the organization as a student after she witnessed the realities of human trafficking while visiting Bangkok, Thailand, in 2007. Moved by what she saw, she began raising funds to support a ministry that helped women exit trafficking and rebuild their lives. What started with small fundraising efforts — like selling T-shirts — soon grew into a larger movement, including the creation of the Run 4 Their Lives 5K series.

Now more than 15 years later, the Lynchburg race remains the organization’s central event. According to Lauren McQuillan, the events and education coordinator for Freedom 4/24, the race has evolved alongside the organization’s mission.
