On Saturday, April 6th Michelle Kelley, licensed counselor and owner of Girls Stand Strong, will conduct an empowerment seminar exclusively for women.

Sadie Smile Foundation is holding its second annual 5K run, walk and kids fun run at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 11, in Purcellville, VA. This event is in memory of Sadie Grace Ablard who lost her life at the age of five to a head injury in August of 2011. Sadie had a contagious, joyful smile and loved to help others.

Registration is open on www.active.com with an early registration discount available until April 10th.

This fun, family-oriented event includes goodie bags, technical T-shirts, a water stop, and snacks for all participants. Bring your children to enjoy the Kid's Fun Run, a petting zoo, face painting, and a balloon twister!

Last year, over 500 people participated in Sadie's Race, and helped raise $20,000.00 for Smile Train, a charity that repairs cleft lips and palates for children for as little as $250 per surgery.

Joe Boyle, a seasoned marathoner from Oak Hill, VA stated: "Fun race; family oriented; well organized; a very special cause; worth coming out for!!!!"
