Richard Nares Victory Lap Celebration
Come celebrate local San Diego resident Richard Nares as he finishes his 1,700-mile run from Seattle to San Diego to raise awareness and money for the Emilio Nares Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps families navigate through their child’s journey with cancer. The special Victory Lap Celebration will be held on Sunday, August 19 at Liberty Station’s NTC Park for the community to run alongside Richard for his final mile! Richard’s Heart & Sole Run for Emilio began on Monday, June 4 at Seattle Children’s Hospital and continued with stops at children’s hospitals in Portland, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. The celebration is free and all ages are welcome! To run or walk with Richard on his final mile and donate towards his fundraising goal, register and make your donation of $100 per person or a family up to 4 members at the link below. Participants will receive a Richard’s Run t-shirt, sunglasses and refreshments. Richard’s goal is to raise $250,000 for ENF’s programs. Richard and Diane Nares founded ENF in 2003 after their son Emilio lost his brave battle with cancer at only five years old. Diane and Richard turned their loss into a legacy to help other children survive cancer and have since touched the lives of families in San Diego and across the country with resources and support.
