Saturday was the Junior League's 5th Annual 5K for Kids. This annual 5K helps us raise funds to support our community projects like GROW. Last year some of our GROW participants came to cheer on the runners and during that time Kenny, pictured below who is one of our favorites, said he wished he could run the 'big' race next year. My sweet friend Rebecca, who is the biggest friend and advocate for GROW, made his and other GROW friend's wish come true. Local running groups came in and did some training and there were at least 50 of our GROW friends at the race! Most everyone had a buddy runner/walker and I heard multiple buddies say this one of their most favorite 5Ks ever. Rebecca and I stayed back with the 10 little ones to run the fun ran as well as lead the cheering section. We both said even thought we didn't do the full 5K we were as exhausted as if we had ran a marathon!
