Walk-run helps raise money for schools

Sunday morning, more than 2,000 area high school students took the streets surrounding Anaheim Stadium to participate in Anaheim Memorial Hospital's Good Sport 5K/10K Walk Run. Their goal was not to win a race, it was to earn money. In its third year, the event is held to raise money for both Anaheim Memorial Hospital's Sports Medicine programs, which pays for Certified Athletic Trainers for 10 area schools, and for each of the schools that participated in the event. "It's a chance for us to raise money to pick up some income to pay for tournaments and getting the loose ends taken care of," said Magnolia High boys athletic director Richard Penn. "And with the budgets going to be cut about 25 percent, and things tight to begin with, the pinch is going to be greater."
