The Shake A Leg for Charles 5K Fun Run/Walk is open to males and females of all ages who are interested in racing on a flat fast course.  This course is the same course that is used in the USATF sanctioned Selma Railroad Days 5K – the oldest continuous road race in Johnston County and possibly North Carolina. 

This event will be timed by FS Series.  Race Prizes will be given to first overall male and female.

Registration/packet pick up begins at 7am on the 14th.  There will only be same day packet pick-up.

           

Charles is a 17 year old academic student who has exceeded in the classroom, on the ball field, and in extracurricular activities.   He is independent with a determined spirit. A few months after a sports injury that would not heal, Charles was diagnosed with Osteo Sarcoma-bone cancer, specifically chondroblastic.  He has had to have his leg amputated at the knee.  By the time he was diagnosed, the cancer had already spread to his lungs and more surgery is forthcoming.  Insurance has provided a prosthetic leg for him, but it fails in several ways.  First of all since the knee does not bend, the leg does not give him adequate support when he needs to sit down and get back up.  Secondly, and of great importance to Charles, it does not allow him the flexibility to be an active 17 year old athlete. The knee that he needs is the Genium Knee by Otto Bock and it will cost approximately $70,000.  Wilson’s Mills Church members are hosting several events including this 5K to raise the money to get Charles the leg that he needs and deserves.  Click to view Charles’ Caring Bridge Page.
