Actress and dedicated humanitarian Jennifer Garner recently completed an inspiring 67-day challenge aimed at drawing attention to global childhood hunger. To mark her 53rd birthday in April, Garner pledged to run or walk one mile each day as part of Save the Children’s #67Strong4Kids campaign, an initiative linking personal effort to fundraising for malnourished children .
On June 22, Garner wrapped up her journey in Santa Monica, joined by hundreds of supporters led by Peloton instructor Becs Gentry. Despite calling herself “not a natural runner,” she pushed through and celebrated the finish line with her boyfriend, John Miller, who greeted her with kisses.
“I was in the airport a couple of weeks ago and somebody was, like, ‘Good luck on your 67,’” Garner shared with PEOPLE. “It warms my heart… so many more people thinking about kids on the other side of the world.” Her routine mile became a powerful gesture of empathy .
The campaign emphasizes that even a $67 donation can provide six weeks of therapeutic food for a child suffering from malnourishment. Through her consistent effort, Garner helped raise critical funds and inspired new donations via Save the Children’s platform .
Having supported Save the Children for over a decade, Garner used this challenge to respond to recent reductions in U.S. humanitarian aid—an issue weighing heavily on her mind. By transforming personal anxiety into a daily mission, she modeled tangible action .
Her final mile became more than a personal triumph—it was a collective movement. Hundreds joined her in Santa Monica, illustrating how one person’s commitment can spark community involvement. Through #67Strong4Kids, Jennifer Garner proved that small, sustained acts can feed both hope and hungry children around the globe.
