A local foundation is asking the community to lace up their shoes to raise money to support children in need.
The Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation will host its Run for the Kids on June 25 at Rondeau Provincial Park, where participants will be encouraged to run, walk, or wheel to raise money.
Those taking part will collect pledges ahead of the event, which will support specialized equipment, healthcare services, mental health services, therapeutic recreation, music therapy, pool programs and other critical services offered at the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent.
The family-friendly event is open to participants of all ages and abilities. It will include a paved 200m fun event for kids and a 5km route that is accessible for strollers, wheelchairs, and wagons.
