Run the Waves 5K/10K Charity Event

March 6th is going to be a very special day. It is our 6th Annual Run the Waves 5K/10K benefiting the Special Olympics and the Children's Lifesaving Foundation. This is an amazing event that Challenge for Charity organizes every year for our two organizations. It is a lot of work and even though we did it before, it takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. Every year there is something new that we either try to do or just have to do. And just like with any other big event, we sometimes get tired and frustrated, but at the end of the day it is all worth it because the kids love and need this event!

I remember that last year I was so impressed by some of the kids' stories. Although they were born in Los Angeles and they lived here their entire lives, they had never seen the beach! The look on their faces when they came to the Race and then got to walk and play on the beach was just unbelievable. I have never seen so much joy in my life! And that is when the hours and hours of planning pay off.

So if you happen to be in Malibu on March 6th, stop by Zuma Beach. Come by to say hi, volunteer, run, walk or donate. Take a look at our website to find out more about the two organizations we support and to register for the race: www.pepperdinec4c.org/run

See you on March 6th!
