Thank YOU!

Just wanted to say a big  THANKS to all of  you who came out to the CHKD Run Walk for the Kids this weekend.

What a great event and a huge success.    Final numbers are not in yet, but we do know that more than 2,500 people came out to walk or run.   I can’t wait to hear how much money we all raised for the kids.

If you were there you know how crowded it was.  We even had to delay the beginning of the 8k because there so many people were still trying to get parked and to the start line at race time.  What a great problem to have.  I’ve talked to some folks at the hospital and they tell me they’re already planning to move the race next year to accommodate.

Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters helps hundreds of kids every year with every thing from little boo-boos to big scary stuff like cancer.    The money raised will help them get better.     So again, from a WAVY Run/Walk team member and a Mom who knows first hand how the hospital helps — THANKS!

    Hey Stephanie,

    My friends and I just ran in this event and had a great time. Our only concern was the lack of water stations on the route. It was a supper hot day and I saw many people struggling at the end. I hope they’ll consider adding another water station or two like they’ve had in the past.

    Thanks = )
