This past Saturday, September 24, 2011 Kids Helping Needy Kids partnered with Ever Increasing Life Ministries to host the first annual 5k run/2m walk for Life. It was definitely a huge success! The forecast predicted a 70% chance of rain but the rain was able to hold off during the race. Several participants chose to run and even more walked. Experienced athletes as well as families came out to support KHNK and Ever Increasing Life Ministries. Prizes were awarded to participants with the best race time in their age category. Special congratulations to the runners who finished in first place: for men, Orsam Ahmed and for women, Andrea Swierczek!
Many, many people were involved in the planning stages as well as in the logistics on the day of the race. We would like to thank them all; the race would not have gone as smoothly as it did without them! A special thank you to our sponsors, friends, and especially Ever Increasing Life Ministries because we were able to receive $1,080 in proceeds!!! We could not be happier with the outcome! We believe this is a great start and we know next year will be an even bigger success.
