Hi there. My name is Allié. 

I'm the co-founder of AwareNow, and I live with MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

I'm producing a film called 'Because I Can'. 
It's a documentary about what it means to keep going, even when life tries to stop you. And I'm inviting YOU to be part of it.

To finish this film, we’re organizing the world's LARGEST virtual 5K. 
And I would be honroed to have you to run with me.

Whether you run, walk, or roll, you being part of this will help bring this story to life. Do it for yourself, for someone you love, or for someone you’ve never met — someone who needs to know that they’re not alone. 

And here’s the beautiful part! To give credit where credit is due, YOUR NAME will be included in the FILM CREDITS.
This is your chance to be part of something global. Something real. Something that matters.


So, will you run with me?
Let’s cross this finish line together.

Sincerely,
Allié

P.S. If you can’t run, walk, or roll, no worries! You can still be part of this documentary with your name listed in the film credits by simply making a donation (just click here.) Your support will help us bring ‘Because I Can’ to audiences around the world.

This is not just another run.

This is a story in motion.

And YOU are invited to be part of it.




The 'Because I Can' Virtual 5K is a global event inviting participants from around the world to run or walk in support of the 'Because I Can' documentary. This powerful film follows the lives of those living with MS, telling stories of grit, strength, and determination.

With a fundraising goal of $150,000, the virtual run empowers people everywhere to support a cause that impacts millions while helping this film cross the finish line.

After crossing the finish line, 'Because I Can' will prepare for a national tour. In partnership with the National MS Society, the film will be screened at events across the country beginning in March 2026 to raise awareness and support for the MS community.

Let's get back to this event. What's a 'virtual run'?

A virtual run is a race you complete on your own schedule and at your own pace. Run or walk from anywhere — your favorite trail, a city sidewalk, or a treadmill. You track your own distance, share your experience, and celebrate knowing that your steps support a powerful story and an important cause. 

Ready?! Please join us.

Again the 'Because I Can' 5K isn’t just another run. It’s a call to action. It’s a chance to put your feet on the pavement for something bigger than yourself. This run helps fund the production of a powerful, real, and raw film that shares the human side of MS. By joining us, you're not just participating in a global event — you're becoming part of the story.
