Our 5K supports the Wings for Life World Run. In this moment – while you're reading this – somebody has injured their spinal cord and will be paralyzed. No feeling in their legs, maybe no feeling in their arms or hands either. Immobile. Constantly dependent on the assistance of others. As a charity foundation, Wings for Life supports cutting-edge research worldwide. Their big goal: To find a cure for spinal cord injury.
