7th Annual Find Her Footing 5K Walk, Run & Kids Dash

Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome to participate in a 3.1-mile race course winding through the grounds of West Laurel Hill. Along with the regular 5K, AFTH is bringing back its popular Kids Dash for children ages 3 to 10 years old. The Kids Dash will be held at 9:30 am before the official race starts at 10:00 am. After the race participants can have some fun at the superhero themed photo booth. The superhero theme is an homage to Superman Clark Kent, a fellow adoptee.

“This race is an annual tradition for many, and we love how so many people come out every year to support adoption,” said Maxine Chalker, Founder/ CEO of Adoptions From The Heart. “We are thrilled to have the support of the community, so we can help those in greatest need.”

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Expecting and Birth Parent Support Fund. There are expecting and birth parents who work multiple jobs and still struggle to afford to pay their electric bill or buy groceries. Many expecting and birth parents face financial hurdles while trying to find their footing. Last year the Find Her Footing 5K Walk, Run and Kids Dash raised approximately $6,500 for the fund.

AFTH hopes to see some new runners/walkers along with our attendees from last year at the 2019 5K. Water bottles and refreshments from Nothing Bundt Cakes of Wynnewood, PA, KIND Snacks , The Original Bagel and Edible Arrangements will be available for all participants.

Aside from registration attendees and 5K watchers can contribute to the fund by purchasing raffle tickets. The raffle selections will be placed next to the registration table. Raffle prizes include passes to Flyers Skate Zone, Xfinity Live!, Platoon Fitness personal training sessions and more. Those who cannot be physically present at this event can still show their support by donating to our “No Sweat” club.
