HopeKids

2009 Suburban Adventure Fall Classic Walk and Run
Walking and Running for HOPE!

HopeKids provides ongoing events & activities and a powerful, unique support community for children with cancer and other life-threatening medical conditions. We surround these remarkable children and their families with the message that hope can be a powerful medicine.

"There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as the expectation of something tomorrow." - Orison Swett Marden

HopeKids believes in giving kids with cancer and other life threatening medical conditions something to look forward to in the form of continuous events and activities to build strength and the willingness to fight. With the promise of a new event always just ahead, hope for the future is a constant state of mind.

When you come and walk or run to support HopeKids, you are raising the spirits of hundreds and hundreds of kids and their families in their greatest time of need. You are giving them the precious gift of HOPE!
