Please consider taking the challenge and join Charlie&#8217;s Champions for the GiGiFit Acceptance Challenge (GFAC) on June 5th at John Howell Park. This is a family friendly event with a 5k, a kids dash, an inspirational walk and more, but if you can not join us in Midtown, take the challenge and MOVE for change at your own personal event!<strong> REGISTER HERE<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love participating in the annual GiGiFit Acceptance Challenge!
