We just found out about a really cool race today – check out our first bullet point below. If you are only going to do one race this year – or rarely race – this is a great one!
- The Run for Ahope 5k is a race organized by an 8th grade student to raise funds for an Ethiopian non-profit that raises funds for HIV-positive orphans. I love races put on by students; and I love supporting their contributions to our community! The race is on Sunday, May 21 at 11 am with day of race registration opening at 10 am. It’s based at the Arbor School of Arts and Sciences. The registration is only $20 for adults and $15 for students under age 18. Learn more online here!
