The inaugural Walk for the Babies – a benefit for Kent’s Pediatric Interim Care Center (PICC) – is 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 at Three Friends Fishing Hole Park, 19970 Russell Road, Kent.
Proceeds from the walkathon support the care of drug-affected newborns at the PICC, the state’s only center providing specialized, 24-hour nursing care for infants withdrawing from prenatal drug exposures.
Participants can choose to walk, run or stroll a 5K or 1-mile loop on the Green River Trail. The walk will be followed by chowder, snacks and family fun in the park.
Sign up at www.picc.net or by phone at 253-852-5253 during regular business hours. Registration includes a T-shirt and food and is $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors. Kids 10 and under are free.
