Our
mission
The Kid Ruck Charity Challenge is a military inspired event, where 50 "kid" athletes (ages 6-18) will ruck (hike) as many 1 mile loops as they can before the final cow bell rings at 1pm!
All to raise money and awareness for the non-profit organization Why Me & Sherry's House, a grass roots non-profit organization dedicated to providing love and support services to families with childhood cancer.
Each athlete will be provided with a Why Me & Sherry's House website to accept donations as they work to raise money for families with childhood cancer.
