Doherty High School is hosting the “Half the Sky Foundation 5K”. Entry fees will go toward Doherty’s fund raising project for this foundation. This fund raising is done to help Dr. Alex Costantinides, who lost his wife and three daughters in a flash flood in Wyoming when the road was washed away beneath them.
Onsite registration begins at 6:30 a.m.
Dr. Alex survived. His daughters were adopted “China dolls”. Half the Sky Foundation’s mission is to enrich the lives and enhance the prospects of orphaned children in China who wait to be adopted, and those who will spend their childhood in orphanages. The Foundation is named for the Chinese adage, “Women hold up half the sky” to denote the fact that the vast majority of healthy babies in China are girls.
