Exeter Oral Surgery is excited to partner with Refuge International for the 2nd Annual Exeter Run for Hope 5K!

This year’s event features a new course that’s easier to navigate with minimal elevation changes—a smoother route for runners, joggers, and walkers alike.

Best part: every dollar raised supports medical and dental care for underserved communities in Guatemala. Our team has already completed two mission trips there, and we’re planning to return for a third in September 2026, bringing the Miles of Smiles dental trailer to help deliver care where it’s needed most.

Lace up, show up, and let’s turn miles into smiles!

Registration Open 2/1/26: Early Bird Registration 2/1/26 thru 4/30/26 $25 Adults Kids 1-12 $20/ Regular Registration 5/1/25 thru 6/5/26 (6:00 P.M.) $30 Adults Kids 1-12 $25

Connor’s Climb is more than a 5K — it’s a chance to take action for youth mental health.

By registering and fundraising for Connor’s Climb, you are supporting Connor’s Climb Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention education. Funds raised through this event help provide school-based programming, community workshops, and youth-led initiatives that raise awareness, reduce stigma, and equip young people with tools to support themselves and one another.

Fundraise for Impact

Participants are encouraged to fundraise as individuals or teams. Share your story, honor someone you love, or simply invite friends and family to support your climb. Every dollar raised helps expand the Foundation’s reach — including its Youth Ambassador Program, which empowers students to be peer leaders and mental health advocates in their schools.

An Event for Everyone

Connor’s Climb welcomes runners, walkers, families, and participants of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re going for a personal best or walking in remembrance, you’ll be part of a supportive, purpose-driven community — because no one should have to climb alone.

Register. Fundraise. Make an impact.

Join us in a charity timed 5K walk/run/roll in Exeter, NH, to fundraise for the Walk On Foundation for LGMD treatment, as part of the Dion Foundation for Children with Rare Disease.

In the summer of 2025, Kennedy and Berkeley Bailey were diagnosed with LGMD (Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy) type 2C. Their family immediately took action, determined to do everything they could to fight this progressive disease. They partnered with The Dion Foundation — a place to raise awareness and critical funding for research, treatments, and hope — not just for these two girls, but for all families facing LGMD.

We invite you to join us: donate, volunteer, and follow the girls' journey on social media (@walkonlgmd). Your support means the world to us — thank you.

Be sure to check out our event sponsors, shown on the side bar. THANK YOU for your support!

(Please note that this is a charity 5K and, in the event of cancellation for any reason, your registration is non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding).

SCPO DANIEL R. HEALY

Senior Chief Petty Officer Daniel R. Healy, US Navy SEAL, BUD/S Class 176, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was born on July 17, 1968 in Exeter, NH and KIA in the Hindu Kush mountains of Kunar Province, Afghanistan on June 28, 2005 during Operation Red Wings.

SCPO Healy was lost when the MH-47 helicopter he was aboard on a rescue mission was shot down when going to the aid of a team of four SEALs on a reconnaissance mission who were embroiled in a battle with a larger force of the Taliban. When word got back to base about their plight, their fellow SEALs went into action filling two helicopters to go to their aid. Due to his rank as a Senior Chief Petty Officer, Dan Healy did not have to go on that mission, but he insisted. Taking men off of the lead helicopter SCPO Healy told the others “Those are my men and my face is going to be the first one they see”.

For his actions, SCPO Healy was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star with Combat “V” for Valor, the Purple Heart and Afghanistan Campaign Medal. SCPO Healy’s other awards include Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Meritorious Unit Commendation, Good Conduct Medal (3), and the National Defense Service Medal.
