4TH ANNUAL HOPE FOR HAITI 5K
FIGHTS CHILD HUNGER IN HAITI

MOUNT PLEASANT - Light from Light's 4th Annual Hope for Haiti 5K Trail Run will be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 8:30 AM, and will raise money to fight child malnutrition, one of the leading causes of death in Haitian children. The tree-lined course begins at the North Mount Pleasant Chick-fil-A and winds through the beautiful Oakland Plantation. Walkers and runners alike are sure to enjoy this family and dog-friendly race, which is presented by Chick-fil-A North Mount Pleasant and Mountain Creek Contractors.
Visit lightfromlight.me/HopeforHaiti5K to register today, and pay only $10 for children (ages 4-12), $15 for students (ages 13-17), and $30 for adults (ages 18 and up). Children age three and under are free, so be sure to bring the whole family!
All funds raised through the event will go to Light from Light, a Mount Pleasant based non-profit that works to strengthen the foundations of progress in Haitian communities living in extraordinary poverty and chaos. Light from Light walks and works alongside proven local leaders at our partner clinic in Haiti, Lespwa Timoun, empowering them to build and sustain long-lasting change. In the past year alone, the Lespwa Timoun "Hope for Children" clinic provided life-saving care to over 4,800 malnourished children through its Nutrition Program.

Race registrations help support the Nutrition Program and much, much more!
Chick-fil-A North Mount Pleasant's vision to nourish, serve and transform their team, guests and community, is why they've generously supported the Hope for Haiti 5K Trail Run as a presenting sponsor for three years. The store's owner and operator, John Wrenn, feels privileged to partner with Light from Light, an organization that is helping to change the lives of malnourished children in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. "I hope and pray our efforts are magnified in ways we cannot imagine to bring relief to these hungry children," he says. "I encourage everyone in the community to come out and run or walk one of the most beautiful 5K courses in the low country!"
Online race registration is available until September 20, and race day registration is available during packet pick up the evening of September 20 or on September 21 until 8:00 AM. This family friendly event is rain or shine. All registrants will receive a Hope for Haiti 5K t-shirt, and all runners age 13 and over will receive a finisher medal. Prizes and medals will be awarded for age group winners and the top 6 overall finishers.
