Philanthropic Endurance Challenges

Dr. Vonda Wright & Buck Institute for Research on Aging Partner

Dr. Vonda Wright and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have launched the Move the Mountain campaign — a philanthropic initiative that combines a gruelling endurance challenge. The fundraising goal is $79 million, which will support the establishment of The Vonda Wright Women's Health Foundation at the Buck Institute's Center for Healthy Aging in Women. It will create a permanent research home dedicated to understanding women's unique biology and its impact on healthspan.

The Dr. Vonda Wright x Buck Institute for Research on Aging campaign is anchored by Dr. Wright's personal commitment to complete a 79-mile mountain challenge, beginning with the 29029 Trails Race in Park City, Utah, in September 2026 and continuing with the 29029 Everesting Race in 2027.

The total donation is estimated to be worth over $375,000, with the event disguised as a pep rally and featuring volunteer engagement, small-group activities, and personal fittings.
