14th Annual Joshua’s Wish 5K this weekend

The event is held in memory of Joshua Solomon, who died from brain cancer at the age of five.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – You can break a sweat for a good cause on Saturday, during the 14th Annual Joshua’s Wish 5K.

The event is held in memory of Joshua Solomon, who died from brain cancer at the age of five.

The money raised will go towards childhood cancer research. Joshua parents hope to raise $30,000 and say they have turned grief, into purpose.

“We know we’re giving back to the community at large and helping a lot of people and that makes it better for us,” says Joshua’s dad Trent Solomon.

The 5K begins at 8:00 a.m. at Tattnall Square Park in Macon. It will be followed by a kid’s run at 9:00 a.m.
