Did you know that the Monument Avenue 10K was named one of the best running races in the country, and is one of the most recognized events in Richmond? World Pediatric Project, however, is one of the best kept secrets in town. This year, we are going to change that by teaming up with the race for the third year in a row.
Whether you are supporting an WPP race participant with your donation or participating in the race yourself, you are assisting critically ill children that without help from WPP have little hope for a bright future. These children need critical care that is not available to them in their home countries in Central America and the Caribbean . . . care that is routinely available in the United States.
Start feeling good now! If you are a race participant, click on the 'get started' button above. If you are supporting a race participant, click on the 'want to donate' box to the right.

About World Pediatric Project
Vision: Every child, regardless of geography, will have access to lifesaving critical care.
WPP provides access to medical care for critically ill children in Central America and the Caribbean. Without WPP, these children have little hope for a bright future and may suffer and die from conditions treated routinely in the U.S. WPP accomplishes its mission with the help of volunteer pediatric specialists. WPP’s operating costs are low, so every donation makes a direct and immediate impact on the life of a deserving child.
