Description
The Children’s Organ Transplant Association in honor of Lainee Jordan have organized a 5K with fun mile walk to raise proceeds to benefit COTA for Lainee. Lainee is a 14-year old Craven County teen in need of a life-saving heart-transplant. Money raised will be used for a lifetime of transplant related expenses. Your participation will help Lainee and other children and young adults like her have a second chance at life. We are asking runners to help by obtaining sponsorships.

Police escort will precede the runners and follow the runners. Race will begin at Farmlife Elementary School on Farmlife Ave. Runners will come from the school and turn left onto Mill Ave and continue onto Mill Pond Rd. Runners then will run back toward the school where first water station will be located. Runners will cross Farmlife Avenue and continue on Mill Rd. The next water station will be at the end of Mill Rd. Runners will turn left onto Main Street and be cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd prior to the parade.
