Community running events benefit many worthy causes. Whether you are permanently part of this community, you are here part of the year, or you are considering a relocation, participation in a benefit race is always rewarding and fun!
On Saturday, September 10th, 2016, Halifax
Health - Hospice will celebrate the Spirit of Caregiving with the 15th Annual 5K Run and Walk. This much
anticipated event raises funds for the Family Caregiver Program, which provides
one-on-one care for patients and entitles caregivers to much needed respite
time.
The event brings out a wonderful mixture of the
area's top competitive runners, as well as non-competitive runners and
families. While competitive runners will be timed for placing and to receive
points in the Daytona Running Series, the event also offers an opportunity for
non-competitive runners, walkers, families and children to participate through
the 5K walk/run, and 1/8-mile Kiddie Dash.
Funds raised from the 5K Run & Walk will
benefit the Family Caregiver Program which plays an integral role in the health
of both the patients and their caregivers.
This relief program provides one-on-one care for patients, allowing the
family caregivers much needed respite time.
In turn, this helps the caregivers so they can help their loved ones
through the end-of-life journey.
ONLINE REGISTRATION CLOSES SEPTEMBER 8TH! You will still be able to register in person
at packet pick and on race day for $35.
