Description: Join us for the 3rd annual 5K Freedom Run & 1 mile Walk to raise money for Stepping Stones for Stella. 100% of the event proceeds are allocated to the production and shipment of Buggies to families across the country. This year we are happy to fully embrace & recognize the “Freedom” behind this event, by introducing a brand-new race category that truly identifies with what we’ve always hoped for this race: a PC Open Category. We hope this category attracts & encourages people with medically verified visual, physical or neurological impairments to participate in this event.
