Last Sunday, we were delighted to be joined by almost fifty runners and walkers for our Race for Freedom 5K in Van Cortlandt Park. It was wonderful to see everyone from serious runners to entire families to supporters who just wanted to go for a lovely walk in the park. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us and congratulations to all of the winners!
