Cherokee Recreation and Parks raised more than $29,000 for the Laken Hope Foundation through its first-ever Live Like Laken 5K held Saturday at Hobgood Park in Woodstock, Georgia. The event drew 731 participants, both in-person and virtual, with proceeds directed toward supporting women\u2019s safety initiatives, nursing student scholarships, and improvements in children\u2019s healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a beautiful morning for the race, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, vendors and volunteers for making it all possible,\u201d said Race Director Skyler Cox. \u201cThe support from our community was truly inspiring and I hope it will be a day we all remember in honoring Laken.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
