After raising nearly $1.5 million in its first four years, Jacksonville Area Legal Aid’s largest fundraiser, Freed to Run, is closing in on its $2.25 million goal.
The fifth edition, scheduled Nov. 15-20, comprises six marathons run in six days led by attorney Mike Freed, a shareholder at Gunster in Jacksonville.
The relay begins at the state Supreme Court in Tallahassee and ends at the Duval County Courthouse.
Proceeds support an endowment for the Northeast Florida Medical Legal Partnership that is matched at 125% up to $1.25 million by Baptist Health.
