    Join us for the Salute to Service 5K on Vanderbilt University’s Campus.

    Most 5Ks are about time.

    This one’s about memory.

    When you register, you’ll receive a bib bearing the name of a fallen hero. You don’t just wear it—you carry it forward, mile by mile, name by name. You become part of something bigger than yourself.

    This is not a charity run.

    This is a living memorial—one that honors sacrifice, unites generations, and turns gratitude into action.

    ABOUT OUR KIDS

    What if I told you 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 7 boys will experience child sexual abuse by age 18? The Our Kids mission is to provide expert medical evaluations and crisis counseling services in response to concerns of child sexual abuse, and to increase community awareness, conduct research and offer education and training about child maltreatment.

    Most children are sexually abused by someone they know and trust. 50 percent of more than 900 children examined by Our Kids are seven years of age and younger. If you know a child in need, Our Kids can help. For more information visit: http://ourkidscenter.com/ “
