 The 16th annual Judy's Place for Kids Run with Courage 5K is returning to downtown Pikeville Saturday, April 13th. The 5K is open to runners and walkers and registration will remain open until the race begins. Yeah, the Run with Courage is, you know, it's one of many 5Ks that we do here in Pikeville, but it is one of the first ones that actually started, and it's had a long history of a lot of awesome community support, and we're very appreciative of that, but the whole thing is themed around this idea of this courage and super heroes, and just this idea that anyone that has to face any sort of abuse and neglect in their life, you know, anyone that has to go through that is someone that is a superhero in our eyes, because it takes a lot of courage and just ability to be able to just, overall just a lot of courage to be able to get through those kinds of things, and so we like to bring a lot of recognition to that, as well as to the people that serve kids. We fully believe that those people are also super heroes, and with the amount of courage and determination and compassion that they use as well.

We had quite a big cut in funding last year from the federal level, and we're expecting to have even more cuts, and that's not just our center, that's nationwide. Children's Advocacy Centers and other centers like ours, and so it's very important that we work to kind of fill those gaps of that funding by continuing to increase our fundraising efforts in the community. Right now, I mean fundraising does make up a decent portion of what allows us to do what we do, to be able to pay our staff, to be able to have supplies, to have snacks on hands for kids that come in our office, and so it's just very important that we have this funding and it's becoming even more important with other funding going away.
