Welcome to The Lahr Family's Virtual Red Shoe 5K Page! We are so excited to be aligned with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Greater DC!
We witnessed first hand the great work of RMHC when Wyatt was being treated for Lymphoma just over a year ago. We were fortunate to be close to our medical community, but many families do not have the same good fortune. RMHC opens up their homes to give lodging, meals and respite to families in proximity to where their child is being treated. When your child is crititcally ill, having support like this is priceless.
Please consider registering as a virutal participant and/ordonating to our page to help support the mission and growth of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater DC!
Thank you,
Janet, Troy, Chloe and Wyatt
Celebrating 10 years of the Red Shoe 5k
Originally called “Kaps for Kids,” more than 20 years ago this event began as a walk hosted by an alumni family. Then, 10 years ago, a running component was added and the Red Shoe 5k became our signature event. It has continued to grow ever since! While there have been different names and different locations, it always has the same goal at its heart.
While this year may look different, the purpose is the same – to give our community a way to come together (virtually), show support for, and make a positive impact on the families served by RMHCDC. Please join us for our 10th anniversary and biggest year yet!
You walk or run, and we’ll provide the fun.
