Healthy - ish 5k Run/Walk

Of The Way presents: Healthy - ish 5K Run/Walk Health Event!
Join us for our first 5K as we challenge ourselves to live healthier.

Of The Way is a non-profit mentorship organization that serves children who have suffered the loss of a parent. We seek to cultivate their interests, passions, and gifts and assist children to use them to accomplish tangible goals by program completion.

We recognize that quality living begins with good health. Our inaugural fundraising event seeks to encourage anyone on the journey to better health. That starts with community. Our community is made up of people in different places on that journey but have a like minded goal: good overall health. Fitness, nutrition, and medical experts will also be onsite, to share knowledge and answer questions. Proceeds will be directly applied to our mission: providing mentorship and support to young children of deceased parent(s). So whether you want to walk, run, or just need information on how to get started, come out and get healthy•ish!
