Dedicate some time paying it forward on Monroe real estate at the H3 Horses Healing Heroes 5K. Located in picturesque Lake Tye Park, this 2nd annual event treks through peaceful and scenic park landscapes. The run benefits military veterans suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injuries. Runners find their spots at the starting line, stretch and get ready to move out promptly at 10 a.m.
Horses Healing Heroes Founder Arlene Gibson discovered the soothing benefits of being surrounded by horses by helping a friend. Offering licensed equine therapy and housing to those truly in need became a cause and a mission. Opening her property and her heart, members of the military are welcomed with open arms and understanding. A $25 entry fee charged to participants of the 5k goes towards the construction of cabins on the sanctuary allowing for longer stays with the horses. The farm provides a safe place for America’s bravest to heal in safety, solitude and at their own pace.
