 Running for Kids without Families
On May 31st, three Kidsave supporters pounded some pavement to raise funds for and awareness of Kidsave's programs. Kidsave dad John Miller and Kidsave volunteers Liz Zeigler and Jen Kellar completed all 26.2 miles of the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, gathering $3500 in sponsorships and some sore muscles in the process!
On race day, the runners were blessed with perfect running weather, and the thousands of supporters lining the course could not miss the runners decked out in shirts imprinted with the Kidsave logo and website address. The six months of training definitely paid off, as all the runners finished the event safely and happy with their finish times.
If you are considering participating in a local run or walk, whether it be a 5K or a marathon, please consider running or walking the event for Kidsave. It is the perfect opportunity to raise much needed funds for the organization through the collection of sponsorship donations, and it's a great incentive to log those training miles for charity.
