If you are a local or will be visiting Walt Disney World on November 5, you have the chance to participate in a run through the storybook village at Give Kids the World. It's not normally open to the public. And don't worry if you are not a fast runner, walking is perfectly acceptable. This event even allows strollers!
I just love the course description from the event site:
"Join us for this fun-filled 5k run/walk that winds through the whimsical pathways of Give Kids The World Village! Here's your chance to experience Central Florida's only nonprofit "storybook" resort that has brought happiness and hope to more than 110,000 families from around the world. Jog past the World's Largest Candy Land game at Matthew's Boundless Playground, wave hello to our special families and boogie down with some of the Village's most lovable mascots. It's fun for all ages! Everyone is invited to take part in this unique fundraiser that helps provide weeklong dream vacations for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families."
Can't make it to Kissimmee that morning? Or just don't feel like getting up early but still want to help? Register as a virtual runner. If you raise $100 for the organization, you'll earn a 2011 Gingerbread Run t-shirt.
Visit givekidstheworld.org for complete details and to register.
