The morning air hums with energy--
feet pounding, hearts racing,
a sea of motion chasing the horizon.
Each stride a promise,
each breath a declaration:
we are not bound by walls or fear.
The road stretches wide and endless,
a ribbon of hope beneath the rising sun.
Together we run--
and arrive at the place where freedom begins.
Asia’s Little Ones and Project Rescue are inviting you to join our 7th annual Run/Walk. Join us for an exciting time of running, walking, and celebrating freedom and justice for girls that have been trafficked and are walking the road of healing. All the proceeds of this race will go to Happy Horizons Children's Ranch to help over to 50 brave young ladies (age 3-20) with therapy, counseling, schooling, and full time care as they run towards restoration and a bright future.
We will be giving away two gift certificates from Fleet Feet! The drawing will take place at the end of the run/walk! Every participant is automatically entered to win!
This is a chip-timed event with Heartland Race Co. We hope you will join us!
