Join us on Sunday June 2, 2019 at B. Davison Secondary School in London to run/walk together in support of Thames Valley Education Foundation’s (TVEF) Caring Fund! Our walk/run is 5K in length and fully accessible. Special features include: post-run refreshments from Growing Chefs!, prizes/draws, family-friendly activities, and incredible prizes for top runners and fundraisers! Don't forget to colour/decorate your t-shirt and fundraise in support of the Caring Fund! We have some great prizes for top fundraisers this year!
New this year, we'll also be collecting scientific calculators! Come August, we'll be gathering these calculators up to distribute to students that need them for school (as part of the Best 1st Day initiative).
ABOUT THE CARING FUND
The Caring Fund supports students in emergency financial need with items such as food, clothing, transportation and temporary shelter, to ensure that they can continue to attend school and learn, even during a crisis. The Caring Fund also helps to reduce poverty-related stigma, strengthen the bond between school communities and at-risk youth, and provide immediate support (usually within 48 hours), while other community support systems (that require more paperwork and planning) are put into place.
OUR SPONSORS
Generous support provided by our sponsors allows us to put 100% of donations directly into the Caring Fund.
THANK YOU TO OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS!

Let's have fun!
Not only do we want everyone to have fun (and maybe even have a personal best timed run), but we really want to run to be bright, colourful and full of personality! Join us and decorate your race t-shirt (markers provided) and wear colourful running gear!
Water
We encourage you to join us and make this a water bottle free event! We will have a Thirstmobile, provided by the City of London, where you can refill your own bottle or just grab a drink. We also will have a water station at 2.5 KM. We will, as well, have reusable water bottles available for $5 to purchase, supporting the Caring Fund, which you can then reuse again and again!
