Pneuma Impact Project

The Pneuma Impact Project

Go the distance for a neighbor you'll never meet.

A 30-day virtual endurance challenge uniting athletes around one goal: keeping a community fed in Cuba, where food, medicine, and power have all but run out.

We connect a global community of athletes around one goal: bringing sustained aid to those the world has forgotten.

Because every neighbor deserves to be seen and served — and loving your neighbor isn't optional. The Pneuma Impact Project turns the miles you'd train anyway into action where it matters most.

Why Cuba, why now

Cuba is living through one of its worst crises in decades. The economy has collapsed, and ordinary families are carrying an almost unbearable weight.

20 hrs
Some areas lose power for up to 20 hours a day, crippling hospitals, businesses, and homes.
3
Severe nationwide shortages of the essentials: food, medicine, and fuel.
Daily
Basic groceries are increasingly out of reach for everyday families.

The causes are layered — decades of economic mismanagement, tightened U.S. sanctions, the blow of COVID-19, and the collapse of support from Venezuela. Whatever the politics, the result on the ground is the same: people who simply need a meal.

Our partner on the ground

Pan de Vida

Every weekend, Pan de Vida opens its doors to anyone in the community who needs a meal — no requirements, no barriers, just food for whoever shows up. In a country where basic groceries are slipping out of reach, a warm weekend meal can make all the difference. Your registration fee helps keep those doors open.

Every neighbor deserves to be seen and served.

Lace up, dive in, clip in. Turn the next 30 days of training into a year of meals for a community that's been forgotten.
