TobyMac's Run for Hope Aims to Raise Money for New Hope Academy with Marathon Race [VIDEO]
TobyMac is gearing up his fans for "Run For Hope" where marathons runners will help raise money for New Hope Academy on April 25, 2015.
The race will take place in Nashville, TN and anywhere were people want to participate. If the runner races from their hometown, they have to pick a distance (5K, 13.1 mile half-marathon, or full marathon) to run to raise money for New Hope Academy and diverse-city. They will receive a teak jersey and gear designed by Toby himself.

The deadline is March 6, and team Toby only has room for 150 members.
"Run for Hope is on a mission to turn racial division, class segregation, and spiritual poverty into community, possibility, and hope," reads the site. "With every dollar raised, the course of a child's future is changed forever through the work of New Hope Academy - the school that sparked a cultural movement. Dramatic cultural transformation may start small - with children and a school - but that is only the beginning. New Hope Academy is a school on a mission to set people free."
It continued, "New Hope Academy is a remarkable and inspiring place, one that provides an academically rigorous and Gospel-centered education to children who come from varying economic conditions. New Hope Academy offers an excellent education to children from low-income families, creating a ripple effect of hope and opportunity far beyond its walls."
