Bend Your Knees, Inc. will be teaming up with local runners for the 1st Collins Dixon Bend Your Knees Run. On Saturday, July 14th, 2012 we will be hosting a 5K “Raider” Run and 1 Mile “Brave” Fun Run at First Baptist Church in Canton. We feel this will be great community event and a great way to raise awareness of childhood brain cancer along with raising money for charities that support families that are facing the battle and journey of a child with a cancerous brain tumor.
