This was the first year that The HoPE Organization put together a benefit 5k race together to bring awareness and funding to assist families with Holoprosencephaly (A rare defect in the brain and face) . Coupled with Biola weekend and the Dean also getting involved (Running the 5k also) made the event a success. About 300 runners participated and donations were beyond expectations. God is great and all the details fell into place as it did. Jino and Roselle Martinez are raising Reagan, who is living with HPE (Holoprosencephaly), who celebrated her 1st birthday on October 14th. The race being on the 15th, made sense to have a cake party after the 5k! To next year and future events, check out Rea of Hope
I posted a 25:55 time for about a 8:20 min/ mile. Great scenery of the school and great people too!
