1st Collins Dixon Bend Your Knees 5K

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.
