Run for a Cause: DHR Health’s 5K to Boost Organ Donation Awareness Tomorrow
DHR Health is set to host its second annual 5K and fun run, "Life They Will Give It," aiming to raise funds and awareness for organ donation, with festivities including food and music
A Morning of Fun and Fundraising for Organ Donation
Tomorrow morning, the community of McAllen is invited to lace up their running shoes for a vital cause at DHR Health’s second annual 5K and fun run event. Starting at 7:45 AM at the DHR Health Medical Office building on 1100 East Dove Avenue, the event promises not only a healthy start to the day but also a chance to contribute to a life-saving initiative.
Titled “Life They Will Give It,” the event is more than just a race; it’s a celebration packed with fun activities, tasty food, and lively music, all dedicated to raising awareness about the critical need for organ donations. As attendees enjoy the festivities, they’ll also be supporting the Transplant Foundation of South Texas, an organization that plays a crucial role in the lives of kidney and liver transplant recipients.
Why Organ Donation Matters
The need for organ donors is immense. Many patients waiting for transplants face not only health challenges but also significant financial burdens. The funds raised from this event will directly assist those in need, covering out-of-pocket medical expenses that can often be overwhelming.
“Unfortunately, a good number of these patients really lack financial support,” explained an event organizer. “With this 5K and foundation support, we aim to help some of these patients with whatever is needed.” This initiative represents a community coming together to lift up its most vulnerable members, embodying the spirit of giving and health.
Event Details and Participation
Participants can look forward to a route that is both runner-friendly and accessible to families, ensuring that everyone, regardless of fitness level, can join in. Registration is still open, and all proceeds will directly benefit the Transplant Foundation of South Texas.
For those who can’t make it but still wish to contribute, donations are welcomed through the foundation’s website or directly at the event. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of those awaiting transplants.
