It was a small but furious turnout for the Kids Mile... lots of smiles on some faces, and a few tears from some that found it to be very far... but they all made it! And were recognized with a Medal, courtesy of the Paul Melby Kids Mile! - Thanks to the Rochester Track Club for supporting our event with those medals!
ServiceMaster of Rochester came through with two awesome golf carts, listing all the Team R.E.D. sponsors along the way!
