From the Organizer
Come join us to "Walk for Rare, Run for Hope!" on the gorgeous Pumpkinvine Trail in Shipshewana. This is a benefit run/walk where all proceeds are going to further patients' care.
This will be an out-and-back run at our new clinic, located just next to the trail and the Cove youth center. We will have free snacks, a water station, and bake sale items available by donation. A clock will be available if you would like to track your own time, and medals will be awarded to the top 3 males and 3 females.
We will be offering a big wheel race for kids ages 3-7. (big wheels will be provided)
