Last Sunday, almost 150 runners participated in DMUM’s first annual 5K For The Kids in the beautiful Nichols Arboretum. It began with a singing of “The Victors” by members of the UM Men’s Glee Club and an inspiring speech by the Muzzarelli family.
“You guys have done so much for us. If she was not in therapy, we would not be where we are today.”
After chants of “FTK! FTK! FTK!”, the Muzzarellis sent the runners off. They also finished the 5K at a run!
There were arts and crafts at the finish line. Runners had the opportunity to make cards and trick-or-treat bags for children in the hospitals that DMUM supports, Mott and Beaumont.

It’s amazing that so many people came together in the shadow of one of the hospitals we support. You can see Mott Children’s Hospital from almost anywhere in the Arb, as many students call it. Interested in joining Dance Marathon or donating, or just want to learn more? Check us out at dmum.org!
