Organiser's Description
This is a donation 5k walk run to raise money and support Santiago Banda during the fight for his life. If you cannot attend, please consider donating anyway.
9:00 AM Saturday, October 18th, 2025. Springmill Villages Playground start/stop point.
We call Santi a warrior for a reason! Because the term extends far beyond physical combat. Warriors exemplify courage, resilience, and determination. THAT IS SANTI!!
Our community is coming together for a special 5K to support a brave little boy named Santiago ("Santi").
Santi is just 16 months old and has already faced more challenges than most of us will in a lifetime. He's battling advanced heart failure and is now waiting for a life-saving heart transplant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Right now, his dad has temporarily relocated to Cincinnati to be near the hospital. The familys deepest wish is to be together during this fightbut the heavy expenses, big changes, and long road ahead make that incredibly difficult.
Every step you take in this 5K helps keep their family together while Santi fights for his life. Your participation, donation, or even just sharing their story makes a huge difference.
Organizers are seeking sponsors for the fundraiser, which they hope will become an annual event. If you are interested in sponsoring this event, please reach out to Lisa Banning at [email protected].
