Rally for Riley 5K – A Run for Hope and Love

Join us for the Rally for Riley 5K, a heartfelt community run dedicated to supporting the Carter family and their precious daughter, Riley, who has been diagnosed with Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency (MSD)—a rare and terminal genetic disorder.

With the Carter family’s blessing, this event is organized to lift them in love, prayer, and tangible support during this unimaginable time. Riley is a bright light whose laughter fills every room she enters, and now, our Celina family has the opportunity to surround her with the same warmth and strength she brings to others.

💜 100% of all proceeds and donations from this race will go directly to the Carter family. To ensure every dollar benefits them, this event will not include medals or race shirts, allowing more funds to go where they’re needed most.

The Celina Professional Firefighters Association is working directly with the Carters to ensure all proceeds reach them and to walk beside this family through their journey.

This is more than a race; it’s a show of unity, love, and community spirit. Lace up, run with purpose, and help us #RallyForRiley.
