A 5k in Herndon this weekend aims to end people driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
From 9 a.m. until midnight this Saturday (Oct. 12), the Walk Like MADD & MADD Dash 5k will raise money to prevent underage drinking, help victims and support educational outreach. The race will start at the Herndon Police Department (397 Herndon Pkwy #300).
The organization was started in 1980 by a mother who lost her daughter to a drunk driving incident, according to the organization’s website. The organization boasts helping nearly 1 million drunk and drugged driving victims and survivors.
So far, the event has raised more than $1,800 with 22 participants, according to the event page.
People can register or donate online.
