The Children’s Organ Transplant Association in honor of Lainee Jordan have organized a 5K with fun mile walk to raise proceeds to benefit COTA for Lainee. Lainee is a 14-year old Craven County teen in need of a life-saving heart-transplant. Money raised will be used for a lifetime of transplant related expenses. Your participation will help Lainee and other children and young adults like her have a second chance at life. We are asking runners to help by obtaining sponsorships.
The Run Walk Crawl 5K with a mile fun walk will be held in conjunction with the Strawberry Festival on October 2nd. Runners and Walkers will have the unique opportunity to course through the “hometown, USA” town of Vanceboro before joining and leading the Strawberry Festival Parade. Participants are sure to have a multitude of cheering fans as they run the last legs of the race. Each paid participant will receive a cool event t-shirt and awesome swag bag. Run the East will be timekeeping.
After the event, be sure to join us at the Strawberry Day Festival for good food, music and the celebration of community.
