Each spring, the Plainfield Township Fire Department hosts a
certified 5-K run/walk- ”RUN A MILE FOR A CHILD”- and a pancake
breakfast at Station #1 on Belmont Avenue. All proceeds from
this event go to benefit the Spectrum Health Regional Burn Center,
including
"Kid's Burn Camp" and
West Michigan FIREmatch- an intervention, referral and
educational program for children. This year, it was a grey, damp
day, but those conditions did not deter two hundred plus runners,
walkers, and their supporters from turning out for this year's race.
Plainfield Fire Department volunteers cooked up a mess of pancakes
and a great time was had by all. But most important was the
financial support we were able to send to Spectrum Health's Regional
Burn unit. Many thanks go to the tireless organizers,
volunteers, and, of course, those that participated in this year's
run. (Roll your mouse over the smaller images to
