YWCA Leap Year
Glow Run PHOTOGRAPHY AND STORY BY SAVANNA MCDAVID
February of this year had one extra day and the ladies at the YWCA were not going to let it go by unnoticed! The first ever YWCA Leap Year Glow Run was held February 29th and began at the YWCA in downtown Bristol. The two mile run around the historic downtown was a fun run for all ages. The night was chilly, but that didn’t stop everyone from having a glowing good time. Everyone was decked out in glow accessories from head to toe. There was no losing this crowd! The Glow Run was a free race and the YWCA asked for a five dollar donation. All proceeds were donated to NORD, National Organization for Rare Diseases in celebration for Rare Diseases Day on February 29th. Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February each year. The main objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness amongst the public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives.
