WHY WE RACE?
This Christmas, we have the opportunity to give back to the residents of our nursing home (Mt. Sterling Health and Rehab) through a special 5K created to bring our community together for a meaningful cause. The holiday season can be especially important for our residents, and every step taken in this race will help spread joy, comfort, and a sense of connection. Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or simply help support the event, your participation can make a difference in making Christmas brighter for those who call our nursing home, home.
Our goal is to turn miles into smiles and make sure every resident feels remembered and valued during the holiday season. Funds raised through the 5K will help provide Christmas gifts, special activities, and meaningful moments for our residents. This event is about more than crossing a finish line—it’s about coming together as a community, honoring our older adults, and showing them that they are loved, appreciated, and never forgotten. Join us this Christmas and help us make every step count!
