A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and joined us this past Saturday for our 10th Annual Alex’s Walk n Roll 5K and Fun Run event. While the wind was pretty powerful and winter’s chill was definitely in the air, we still felt it was a heart-warming kind of day overall and hope that you did too!

A special thank you to our Heart of Gold Sponsor F.H. Furr, your continued support truly has been humbling and we are so thankful for your dedication in the fight against childhood cancers. Special shout-out also to our FUN RUN hosts: Enrichment Matters and E3PT – thank you both for giving our littlest superheroes some super fun superhero themed obstacles to conquer as they went around the course!

While we met some wonderful new friends, we are also so thankful for the continued support from our Army who year after year show up time and again to help us fundraise and make a difference in the fight against childhood cancers.

This year we walked, we ran, we may have gotten a little blown over at times – but we did it all SUPERHERO style and with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts. We are thankful for all of the awesome kids who submitted designs for this years’ event shirt. The ages of these young artists ranged from 9 years old to 18 – their talent was evident, congrats to the winning artist Hailey W. from Haymarket, VA!

Thank you to all our runners for your patience and understanding regarding the medal ceremony. The timing results are now available at www.commonwealthtiming.net (as well as are additional racer pics). For those with winning times, we will be reaching out to you via email to get your race finisher medal to you. Congrats to our winning teams: Team Super Girl, Team Alex’s Dawg Pound, and Team Fluffy Unicorns!

Below are photos from this years event. Thank you again to all of Alex’s Army for your support of our mission. It truly takes an ARMY to fight Childhood Cancers…together we are an ARMY of SUPERHEROES making a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and their families!
