Richardson -- In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Heroes for Children and Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer are partnering to host the Heart of Gold 5K Run for the Children presented by Tom Thumb on Sept. 16, 2017, at the Plaza at Galatyn Park in Richardson.

In keeping up with the annual tradition, the event will begin with a commemorative balloon release sponsored by 4Change Energy, celebrating the families served throughout the year and honoring the memory of Taylor Brewton and Allison "Allie" Scott who both passed away from Leukemia.

Following the balloon release, participants of all ages can join in the Fun Run & 5K. Entertainment features a DJ and an Adventure Zone with games, activities, bounce houses, and a special area to honor and remember children who have battled cancer.

The Heart of Gold 5K & Fun Run will also include prizes, awards, giveaways and food. To register and for more information about this event, please visit www.runforthechildren.org
