We all need a distraction and at least it's for charity too so it's a 1 day thing out of the year. They have been talking about this all month so it's not like it was sprung on everyone. Let the charity help the people it's supposed to help cause it won't like you kicking out the money
Hubby works in the area and was notified well in advance of this event. Not to mention neighborhood Facebook groups have also been very communicative and informative as well. Happy running to these dedicated folks!
