Normally,
on a warm summer morning, 400 runners and walkers line up to start the
race for Laurel House’s 5K. The village is bustling; everyone is in
place as the starting gun is fired. You see smiling faces in team
shirts and looks of determination from serious runners. This year it
will all look a little different.
.
Laurel
House has decided for 2020 to make the 5K Virtual! So what is a
virtual 5K race? A virtual race is a race that can be run or walked in
any place of your choice. This means you can complete the 3.1 miles on
your treadmill, favorite trail, track, around the town or even around
your yard!
Many
races and events across the country have reacted to the COVID-19
pandemic by going virtual. This allows participation at one’s own pace
and place while social distancing. The results are then sent in
electronically and tallied after the race closes. The first 200
participants are guaranteed a t-shirt.
Laurel
House is holding the virtual event July 1st – July 14th. More
information can be obtained from the Events tab on the Laurel House
website (laurelhousecomfortcare.org).
Laurel
House is a two-bed comfort care home located in Newark serving all of
Wayne County. It provides end of life care to those who are terminally
ill with a prognosis of three months or less. We come along side the
families and assist with hands on care, medication oversight, and
emotional and spiritual support. Our main goal is to allow families to
spend quality time with their loved one and to focus on living out their
final days.
Laurel
House Comfort Care Home is not eligible for insurance reimbursement,
nor does it charge a fee for services provided. Therefore, we survive
solely on donations from the community and fundraisers such as the
annual Laurel House 5K. “Virtually Together” – the 2020 Laurel House
Virtual 5K will be a fun activity for all.
