Organiser's description
Join us for a 5k run/walk and a 1 mile fun run in our continuing effort to raise funds in honor of Alice Hutchison for the ALICE'S PLAYGROUND PROJECT. This is a fundraiser effort that was put into place before we lost our sweet friend. This race is in honor and memory of our sweet friend, Alice, who passed away suddenly in March just 6 days shy of her 8th birthday of complications from a genetic disorder she had called GNAO1. This is a very rare disease. Alice had a heart of gold and made everyone she met love a little harder. Before her passing, her elementary school student council at Bryant had begun a fundraiser for new playground equipment so ANY child could play. Alice was wheelchair bound, but LOVED being outside with her friends. This race will help raise funds for Owosso Public Schools Bryant Elementary in building an accessible playground all students can enjoy for years to come. We are so thankful to everyone for all the love and support for this project this far and we hope with this race we will help make this a reality.
