The Torch Relay for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is an all-volunteer organization supported by corporate sponsors. The Torch Relay is joined together through a unified series of walks, runs and cycling events that are connected by a single torch that travels to more than 25 cities in support of children’s hospitals nationwide. 100% of the participant fundraising goes to the participant’s local Children's Miracle Network hospital. The first Torch Relay was a continuous mile to mile relay from Miami, FL to Orlando, FL in 2002. Since that first mile, The Torch Relay has raised more than $17 million for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and traveled more than 100,000 miles across the US, with over 70,000 participants.
