LittleDrops 5K Run/Walk: Run4TheirLives!

We've been very busy the last few months! We ended off summer with our Laughs For Hope comedy shows and started off fall with LittleDrops' first annual Run/Walk: Run4TheirLives. The event took place at Warren G Magnuson Park on October 11th and was a good turnout. It was good to see our board's work pay off and even better that the weather was cooperative! It was a beautiful crisp day at the park, and the trail we embarked on had a gorgeous view of the water. We had in total 40 participants : both runners and walkers. It was great to see the kids taking part in this event to help fellow children half way across the world. Their joy always reminds us of what we are working for.
Our first winner crossed the finish line at 19 minutes (Livestrong :) ). All of our runners/walkers were greeted to the cheers of our volunteers and the kids received medals when they completed. After their 5K the participants were treated to a well earned serving of snacks, fruits and drinks. It was a great time, and everyone is looking forward to next year's run!
