5Kaden- Register Now!
We are so grateful for each and every one of you that ran, walked, pushed, skipped, and danced to the finish line last year. The funds raised from last year's 5K-Aden DIRECTLY impacted and helped over 100 kids with limb loss, including a young man local to Columbia, SC.
Carson Galloway (pictured L with Kaden), River Bluff High School graduate, was one of the direct recipients of a couple of activity legs that were bought with the money the 5Kaden raised last year.
