Skagit Valley Family YMCA Hosting Annual Chris Mang Memorial Charity Fun Run Walk

The Skagit Valley Family YMCA is set to host the annual Chris Mang Memorial Charity Fun Run & Walk on April 23, 2025, in Burlington, Ontario. This event commemorates Chris Mang while raising funds for the Special Olympics, an organization dedicated to empowering athletes with disabilities. The fun run will be a family-friendly event, encouraging participation from local residents of all ages. Truls and Susan Glesne are among the key organizers, emphasizing the event's community focus. Last year, the fun run attracted over 200 participants, showcasing the local commitment to supporting inclusive sports.

Organizers hope to exceed that number this year, further promoting awareness and support for the Special Olympics. The YMCA aims to foster a sense of community and inclusivity through this charitable initiative. By participating, attendees contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a day of fun and fitness.
