Event Name: Diego Superhero 5K
Location: Lake Worth, Florida
On February 3rd, 2024, John Prince Park in Lake Worth, Florida, was transformed into a hub of community spirit and superhero capes for the annual Diego Superhero 5K and 1K Walk. This event is a poignant tribute to a young hero named Diego, whose legacy continues to inspire and uplift.
Diego's story is one of both tragedy and profound generosity. In June 2019, at just 16 years old, Diego was involved in a tragic drowning accident. Despite valiant efforts, he passed away on July 5th, 2019. However, his spirit of heroism lived on through his parents, Martin and Ana, who made the courageous decision to donate Diego's organs. Through their selfless act, numerous lives were saved, and families were given hope in the midst of despair.
As runners and walkers came across the finish line, they were not just completing a race—they're becoming part of someone else's superhero legacy. Their participation helped to spread awareness about organ donation, potentially inspiring others to become donors and saving lives in the process.
