Race on Monroe property for veterans.Ready…..Set… Go…. Saturday, June 26, 2016 marks the date for the Horses Healing Heroes 5K fun run, and families who live in a Monroe property can get in on the action. Beginning at 10 a.m. at Lake Tye Park participants can run, jog or even walk the route. Bystanders are part of the cheering squad encouraging participants along the way. Take part in honoring veterans and active military personnel as they team up and run in support of their fellow brothers and sisters. American heroes residing near or on a Monroe property have dedicated themselves to serving the United States and participating in the Horses Healing Heroes 5k is a great way to say Thanks.

Monroe Home Owners Find Healing with Animals

Horses Healing Heroes provides a safe space for men and women who have served our country. At their farm, soldiers may relax and heal in mind and spirit. Often animals provide a comfort that exceeds the bonds between humans, and the horses here help to ease the anguish caused by PTSD and other ailments.

Children of all ages are welcome to partake in the 5K, and those eight years and under can do so at no charge. Don’t leave the dog sitting all alone at your Monroe home, as pets are welcome too. Grab some sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks. Don’t forget your running shoes and head on down to Lake Tye Park. More detailed information regarding the run and Horses Healing Heroes may be found on their website.
