Camp Comfort Zone held its first major event in Massachusetts on Saturday morning at Medfield High School, a 5k walk/run to raise monies and to raise awareness of their cause. CZC provides camping respites for children whose parent or sibling have died.
It was a huge success, with over 130 walkers/runners participating and over $28,000 raised. The opening ceremonies I attended were remarkably moving, with the highlight being a 13 year old Medfield camper speaking eloquently and movingly about what the camp experience had provided for her.
Medfield resident George Gallagher coordinated the event, and said he hoped it will become an annual addition to the town’s calendar.
