Virtual events, such as Hope in the City Run, create an opportunity to raise funds and engage the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve already had people ask if we&#8217;re going to host another virtual run,\u201d says Elaine. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to stay active in a fun and safe way during this new reality we&#8217;re facing.
