It was an amazing event. From the organizers to the people who came to give chizuk to the employees, etc.
Everybody who came added to the wonderful atmosphere.
Although everybody had a great time, we all came to participate in a dvar mitzvah.
Thanks to all!

That’s a great pic of Isaac Akerman. & btw, for those who don’t know, IA is a speedster. He started w/ me, towards the back of the pack & he finished, like, 25 min ahead of me. And he was wearing SHOES !! Unreal. What a talent !

As a parent of a Center student I would like to thank al the sponsors, runners, staff, volunteers & all the ppl who participated in this party. I’m just telling you it was a major chizzuk to the special needs kids & to their families. Special thanx to Committemen Lichtenstien & Akerman for coming (and Running, in IA’s case) to this event. Tizku L’mitzvos. Dudi.
