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.

Registration is now open for this year’s Brick Dash 5K, the run/walk race on Saturday, April 14 at Legoland Florida Resort. [Read more…]
