Organiser's description

Want to do a test run for the Turkey Trot? This is the perfect race for you!!!! This race will take place on the Turkey Trot course in Williamsburg Ky. All proceeds will go directly to sweet Waylon and his family. Waylons Warriors 5K Run/Walk is a fundraiser for the family of Waylon Brice Taylor. Waylon is the three-year-old son of Colby Taylor and Paityn Richmond who has been diagnosed with DIPG, a rare form of brain stem cancer. This disease is aggressive and requires urgent treatment as it cannot be surgically removed. As many may not be familiar with this condition, it is important to raise awareness and provide immediate support for Waylon's family during this challenging time. Waylon faces a challenging journey ahead and will greatly rely on the constant presence of his parents, leaving them unable to work. As they embark on this path, their financial burden will be eased through any financial support received.
