About this run
Date: Saturday April 18, 2026 Location: “Hampton Pit” 4 Rumsey Way, Newton, NJ 07860 Welcome Ceremony: 9:30 AM Race Start Time: 10:00 AM Thank You Mom Foundation has partnered with Do It For Dean. Join us for our 5K Color Run Fundraiser in support of Dean, an incredible preschool student at Stillwater Township School. Dean has Choreoathetoid Cerebral Palsy and Tracheomalacia and relies on specialized equipment, therapies, and soon a motorized wheelchair to navigate daily life. Funds raised will help his family make essential home renovations to ensure accessibility, including widened doorways, a ramp, safer mobility access, and a fully wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Come run, walk, or cheer—let’s come together as a community to help give Dean the independence, safety, and comfort he deserves!
