This picture was taken yesterday after we ran: The Run 5, One to Grow On. The race's motto: Every child deserves another birthday. All proceeds went to the Wolfson's Children's Hospital.
About Wolfson's:
A non-profit organization, Wolfson Children's Hospital relies on charitable donations to provide world-class care for all children in the region. With the aid of an initial $500,000 donation from the Wolfson Family Foundation, the hospital opened in 1955 as a place for all children to be admitted and treated without regard to creed, religion, race or financial position. That original mission remains today.
In addition to providing the best pediatric care, as evidenced by Wolfson's selection as one of only two children's hospitals in Florida to receive Magnet™ status in 2007 and again in 2012, Wolfson Children's Hospital is a growing center of research and a leading teaching hospital dedicated to training tomorrow's pediatric doctors, nurses and technical staff.
Serving as the main teaching facility for the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville Pediatric Residency Training Program, Wolfson is also affiliated with premier nursing programs, including those at the University of North Florida, Jacksonville University, Florida State College Jacksonville, St. Johns River Community College, the University of Florida, Florida State University and the University of Central Florida.
I have participated in this race for the last 3 years. It is my favorite race and I am so thankful that my friends waited on me to finish. It was a wonderful being amongst racers. I don't even care that people with strollers were passing me or about the lady carrying her dog passing me.
I'm pretty sure that I speak for both Krystial and myself when I say that we are THRILLED that you came and ran.
