"The race is open to runners, joggers and walkers," organizers note. "Bring your friends for a fun day out for a wonderful cause."
Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and Henry's Halos was originally formed to help with family with expenses. Henry is now doing better, and the organization now raises money to benefit families with children or parents suffering from traumatic illnesses and injuries -- both with medical and just living costs -- through a variety of efforts. Henry's Halos Interns also help with chores and errands.
After the 5K and fun run, there will be food, prizes, vendors, sports memorabilia auction, raffles, and special guests with photo and autograph opportunities.
T-shirts to benefit young Lily LaRue -- who lost her battle with a difficult type of brain tumors when she was 7 -- will also be on sale. You can also donate directly to the Lily LaRue Foundation, which helps other families dealing with the disease, here.
