More information is available at http://dottodotrun.org/.

The Annual Dot-to-Dot Walk/Run is an event organized and hosted by the popular outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic Blue Valley Physical Therapy, since 2007, to honor the memory of Paulina Cooper, who lost her life to a pediatric brain tumor at the age of 5 and raise funds to support the research and development of effective treatments for children with aggressive brain tumors.

The premier and renowned Overland Park based physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic announced it will be hosting this year€™s 10th Annual Paulina Cooper Dot-to-Dot Walk/Run on September 18th, 2016 in Corporate Woods, Overland Park, Kansas City.

The event is tailored for both the serious runners/walkers and participants just looking for a fun family day, featuring a 5k Walk and 10k Walk/Run with prizes and a Dot to Dot trot for children 8 years and under along with a highly popular kid€™s carnival and multiple other family and child-friendly activities.

The event organizers reveal that €œthis race is a celebration to continue Paulina€™s legacy of love, union and connection, with all money raised going to the research and development of effective treatments for children with aggressive brain tumors. Everyday 9 children are diagnosed with brain tumors and face still poorer survival rates than breast cancer patients. Mortality rates remain unchanged over the last 10 years and only two new treatments have been approved in the past 25 years€.

They add that €œPaulina Cooper was outgoing, fearless, giving and had an amazing ability to connect. She was diagnosed with an intrinsic brainstem glioma in August 2003 at the age of 5. Through 13 months of radiation and chemotherapy and clinical trials she remained brave, peaceful, comforting and wise. She left this world on September 21, 2004 and she is our hero. Her ability to connect, we believe was her life€™s purpose. This is why we named this race the Dot-to-Dot race€.
