Runnin’ for Rhett is more than just an organization; it’s a heartfelt tribute and a beacon of hope born from the profound love and loss experienced by Beth and Randy Seevers. Founded in December 2007, after the unexpected passing of their beloved son Rhett, who bravely battled severe cerebral palsy throughout his short life, this nonprofit stands as a testament to the power of turning personal tragedy into collective inspiration. Rhett’s parents, driven by their enduring love for their son and their desire to honor his memory, have channeled their grief into a powerful movement aimed at spreading positivity and empowerment through fitness and movement. From humble beginnings spurred by Beth’s transformative experience running the Shamrock’n ½ marathon on the anniversary of Rhett’s passing, the organization has blossomed into a force for good, touching the lives of thousands in the Sacramento area. Their mission is simple yet profound: to inspire people to Move Into Life. By nurturing healthy communities through fitness and nutrition, Runnin’ for Rhett not only honors Rhett’s legacy but also offers a guiding light for those who feel defeated, downtrodden, or in need of encouragement. In every step taken, in every mile run, the spirit of Rhett lives on, reminding us all to embrace life’s challenges with resilience, determination, and unwavering optimism.
