Can't make it to Texas or New Hampshire?

Sleep in and get the t-shirt!

  

If you can't make it, we understand. But we have an answer for you. We have a growing number of people that will be running or walking the race at home or with family and friends at their favorite park. These are our "Virtual Angels."  

 

Because the Dreams on Wings (DOW) 5K is the Hemi Foundation's largest fundraiser, we are encouraging as many Hemi families as possible to sign up their own team of Virtual Runners (Angels) to help make this event an even greater success of raising funds to support and serve children who have been impacted by Hemispherectomy Brain Surgery! Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Hemi Virtual Runners (Angels) in all 50 states, as well as several countries? We were so close last year with 45 states and 5 countries represented!

 

This is also a great opportunity to educate others and spread awareness of what the Hemi Foundation does for families.

 

There are NO excuses not to participate!
