Apolo at Run for a Child in Arkansas

Checking in to let everyone know that on Sept. 4 (Labor Day) Apolo will be in attendance at the Run for a Child 5k/10k run benefiting the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter in Bentonville, AR (home of Wal-Mart!).

I wasn't able to locate specifics on the nature of Apolo's participation, but you can find event details here

Thanks to Yano for the link!
