Nestled in the heart of Kissimmee, Fla., you may find yourself inside a quaint little village — one that is home to a castle tower, whimsical villas, and even a pirate ship. On the outside, this may look like the location of a children’s fantasy novel, but inside is a robust organization dedicated to making family’s dreams come true. The Give Kids the World Village is a non-profit organization dedicated to give children in critical condition the chance to visit the attractions in Central Florida.
Give Kids the World Village has opened registration for its fourth-annual Challenge for Hope 5K fun run. The 5K race had previously given people a rare opportunity to run (or stroll) through the whimsical village where children with critical illnesses stay when they have a wish to visit any of Central Florida’s world-class attractions. However, because the Village closed in March due to COVID-19, the 2020 Challenge for Hope has shifted to an entirely virtual event.
