Mitchell Thorp Foundation (MTF) today announced their largest
fundraiser of the year - their annual 5K Run/Walk - will take place on
February 1, 2020 at Poinsettia Park in Carlsbad. MTF helps families
with children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions with
financial, emotional and resource support. Each year, a quarter of a
million children in the United States, including more than an
estimated 2,000 children in San Diego County, are diagnosed with these
types of conditions. The annual 5K Run/Walk will once again be themed
around these Warrior Children who fight for their lives daily.
“Nothing is more powerful than seeing the Warrior Spirit in these
children as they battle every day,” noted MTF Co-Founder and CEO,
Brad Thorp. “That is why this day is so powerful – seeing the
community come together and show their own ‘Warrior Spirit’ and
help the families in their desperate situations.” “Bring Out The
Warrior Within to Help a Warrior Child” will set the stage for the
5K, which will feature a chip-timed race for runners and a beautiful
park loop for walkers. A kids’ obstacle course with great prizes, a
patriotic sky dive demonstration, live music, and food will add to
this incredible day for the entire family. The funds raised from the
event will benefit the families who find themselves in these
situations.
