We are so thrilled to partner once again with Ellie’s Run for Africa, an amazing organization started by a 10 year old from Nashville. And, now, that 10 year old is headed off to college.
8 races later and 4 trips to Africa for her, she’s leaving quite a mark on Nashville, and more importantly on Africa. Students have the chance at a better education - something that, as a young girl, she didn’t even realize she took for granted until she saw pictures of kids who didn’t have food or a place to go to school. Her dream has changed that, raising more than $300,000 for schools in Africa.
When you race, you race for a kid. Literally, you will get the name of a student at New Dawn Academy, a high school in the slums of Nairobi, to pin to your shirt. And throughout the whole 5K, you will be running with that kid’s name in mind.
Are you in?
Learn more at elliesrun.org and we’ll see you on Saturday!
