5K Success: Si o Si!!!

On April 30th, OVER 70 runners and walkers came out to support Light and Leadership in Oak Forest, IL. Participants enjoyed crisp and dry weather (hooray)! Congrats to the first place winner, Andy Druetzler (pictured to the right, 1st place male runner), and to Diane Spacek (first place female runner). All participants received a ribbon made from one of our kids in Huaycan :)
