💚 In Honor of our Dad, Charles Bonds a Natchitoches Louisiana Native and Vietnam Veteran
This race is held in honor of Charles Bonds, whose journey with kidney disease inspired us to raise awareness and support others facing similar battles.
Charles received incredible care during his kidney journey, including dialysis and home treatment education that gave him strength and independence. This event is a way to honor his legacy and bring the community together for a meaningful cause.
A portion of proceeds will be donated to support kidney disease awareness and local patient care.
Run, walk, or cheer—every step helps honor his story.
