Be a Virtual Angel for Dreams on Wings!

Deadline for T-Shirts - APRIL 15!

The Hemi Dreams on Wings 5K Event is the Hemi Foundation's largest fundraiser and 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 48 states and 5 countries represented! This is also an opportunity to educate others and spread awareness of what the Hemi Foundation does for families.

Is your state represented yet in honor of a Hemispherectomy family?

Let's see which Region can get all of their states colored in first!

How to Register Your Team of Virtual Runners

No worries, you don't need to run as a Virtual Runner!

You can sleep in and still get a t-shirt! Some folks will even be picking their own time to commit to 3.1 miles. You can even have your own Virtual Runner Team! The largest virtual team and the team with the highest donations/funds raised will have a 2013 college or camp scholarship named after their team! So, there are NO excuses not to participate. Register NOW for one of the physical races on May 18 or be a "Virtual Runner".

Your family & friends can do a walk/run on a local bike trail or around town that same day in honor of your loved one. Send me information on your gathering and I'll post it in the future e-letter and on Face Book!

We encourage each family who is willing, to have a goal to sign up 10 (or more) Virtual Runners. It could be 5 family members and 5 close friends. Signing up just 10 Virtual Runners would raise $300 for the Hemi Foundation. This is a great way to help be a part of the Hemi Foundation's largest fundraiser!
