From the organizer
In the darkest moment of our lives, our beautiful 15-year-old daughter passed from a pulmonary embolism. Hope became the guiding light that helped us find our way out of the darkness. It is now our desire that Alana's Wings of Hope will continues to spread light and hope to a community that Alana loved.
Race will start at CrossWind Community Church and run through nearby neighborhoods.
