Sheldon Shuffle 5K Run/Walk
Description
Run for kids who can’t.
The Sheldon Shuffle Walk/Run 5K is more than a race — it’s your chance to step up for children at Exceptional Care for Children, Delaware’s only pediatric skilled nursing facility. Our kids face medical challenges that keep them from running alongside you, but your strides make sure they don’t miss out on the best parts of childhood.
Every dollar raised goes beyond medical basics — funding therapy, education, music, art, play, and moments of pure joy that Medicaid doesn’t cover. When you cross the finish line, you’re not just completing a 5K. You’re carrying our kids with you.
Join us for a morning of fitness, fun, and community pride right here in Newark. Together, we’ll show what’s possible when a community moves with heart.
Race perks:
- Official race t-shirt (guaranteed if registered by October 13th)
- Raising Cane’s swag
- Fresh Wawa soft pretzels at the finish line

About Exceptional Care for Children
Exceptional Care for Children is Delaware's first and only pediatric nursing home, serving up to 45 medically fragile children. Exceptional Care for Children improves the lives of technology-dependent children and their families through skilled nursing, transitional, and palliative care. We are a haven for healing fragile bodies when improvement is possible, and a refuge for nurturing vulnerable spirits when a cure is unattainable.
With your support, we can assure the superheroes that live at ECC receive all the medical help they require, and all of the love and support they deserve.
