The Hemispherectomy Foundation’s Dreams on Wings Dashing for Dante 5K will be held Saturday, May 16, 2015. The race begins and ends at Captain Samuel Douglas Academy (CSDA) located at 24 Townsend Hill Road in Brookline, NH.
The Dreams on Wings 5K is an out and back course with a mix of small hills and flat. This course provides a nice, safe challenge for seasoned runners and is interesting for the novice. Limited free parking is available.
The Hemispherectomy Foundation supports children who have undergone a hemispherectomy due to intractable seizures. Epilepsy affects over 3 million people in the United States; 50 million world-wide. The Hemi Foundation supports the worst of the worst of these cases- children, whose only hope is this radical brain surgery. Proceeds for this year’s 5K will benefit financial aid for children and families affected by hemispherectomy surgery. To learn more, go to www.hemifoundation.org.
