There is still time to register for the Freedom Run 5K in Dallas, which benefits first responders and their families.
The Freedom Run 5K and One Mile Walk first began in the weeks after 9/11. The Dallas Association of Young Lawyers organized the event and has continued the run, raising $290,000 for the Assist the Officer Foundation since 2002.
The Dallas Assist the Officer Foundation provides financial assistance to Dallas police officers facing loss of income due to injuries or life-threatening illness. The foundation also provides immediate assistance to families following the death of a first responder and counseling to those dealing with mental and emotional trauma experienced in the line of duty.
The run takes place Thursday, September 10th at 6:30 at Dallas City Hall Plaza. For more on race details and registration costs visit www.freedomrun.com.
