Running for Kidd
This 5K is dedicated to Kidd, our 1-year-old deaf boxer who was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at just one year old. Despite the pain and countless medical challenges, Kidd continues to show the same joyful spirit and determination that has captured the hearts of everyone who meets him.
After months of veterinary visits and consultations throughout the Rio Grande Valley and Reynosa, we were referred to BluePearl Hospital in San Antonio, where Kidd is scheduled to undergo a major right hip surgery costing $10,250.
The goal of this race is to help offset the cost of Kidd's surgery and recovery, giving him the opportunity to live a happier, more comfortable, and pain-free life. Every registration, donation, and share helps bring us one step closer to that goal.
Thank you for joining us in supporting Kidd's journey. Together, we can help him take his next steps with strength and hope.
