One week ago today, this community came together and it was everything. πŸ’™

Year 2 of Lauren's Haven 5K & 2.5K Walk is in the books, and we are still riding the high. From the moment runners and walkers lined up under that arch to the last hug at the finish line β€” this community showed up in the most beautiful way.

This race isn't just a race. It's a reminder of why we do what we do. Every bib, every step, every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting families caring for loved ones through medical treatment. And every year, you all make it bigger and more meaningful than the last.

A few highlights we'll never forget from Year 2:
πŸ’™ Hundreds of runners, walkers, strollers, and pups on the course
πŸ… Incredible finishers crossing the line with everything they had
πŸŽ‰ A post-race celebration full of laughter, food, and familiar faces
🏠 The dedication of the William "Billy" Christofori Field House β€” a moment that moved us all

To our runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors, and every single person who came out or donated from afar β€” thank you. Lauren would be so proud.
