  This Walk/Run will help to raise funds to send children suffering from Sickle Cell Disease to Camp Cell-A-Bration, which is a special needs camp exclusively for children suffering from this disease. Camp Cell-A-Bration will be held in August, and it sends almost 50 children from Texas to this week-long camp with companionship, horseback riding,  swimming, arts and crafts and a full medical staff. Expenses for Camp are $500 per child, yet our agency does not charge the children or their families as many of them are economically disadvantaged and on state assistance. Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic blood disorder that attacks the red blood cells, many of our children have suffered strokes, chronic blood transfusions, pain crisis, jaundice and organ damage which will continue throughout their life. There is no cure and life expectancy is only to 40 years. Please Walk to make a difference in their lives today.

  Austin Runners' Day of Service

  The Austin running community is proud to declare June 5 a “Runners’ Day of Service.” On this day Austin’s numerous races, training groups, shoe stores, event production companies, and runners of all ages will all come together and donate their time and energy to complete several service projects for the betterment of the whole Austin community.

  On June 5, Austin runners will meet up for morning group runs, and then get their hands dirty at a diverse array of service projects throughout the city. Foundation Communities, which provides affordable housing and support for low-income families, and the Trail Foundation have been confirmed as the first service project beneficiaries. Other beneficiaries will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

  Runners’ Day of Service is a first-time event where constituents from all aspects of the Austin running community are coming together to complete a broad array of service projects across Austin. We hope to have at least 50 people take part in this first-time event.
