New Hope WT 5K

New Hope WT 5K Run. Play. Give. On April 13, 2013 we will be hosting our 1st Annual 5K Run/Walk to raise money for a healthier community.

Proceeds of the event will go to the Preeclampsia Foundation (http://www.preeclampsia.org/). Thousands of women and babies die or get very sick each year from a dangerous condition called preeclampsia, a life-threatening disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Preeclampsia and related disorders such as HELLP syndrome and eclampsia are most often characterized by a rap

id rise in blood pressure that can lead to seizure, stroke, multiple organ failure and death of the mother and/or baby. With your help, we can drive awareness, advance our scientific understanding and medical practices, and together help create a world where preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy no longer threaten the lives of mothers and babies. Our goal is to not only provide needed funds to our partnering organization, but also provided an opportunity for the community to get outside and enjoy the wonderful outdoors. For advanced runners our chip timed cross country style 5K run is a great way to start off the spring. For family and those new to fitness fun we will be having a 1 Mile walk that is wheelchair and stroller friendly. After the race, there will be free kiddy races and games for children to encouraging family participation. Note - the registration fee of $25 will increase to $30 on March 15th.
