We have a brand new 5K tradition on our hands, folks. The Kelly-Rahn-Turnage Fellowship for Physician Assistant Students at UAMS will host the inaugural Heroes Against Hunger 5K on Oct. 11 in the midst of National Physician Assistants Week.
The race’s objective is twofold: to bring awareness to the role of PA’s in the state and to benefit the Arkansas Rice Depot Food for Kids program, aiming to feed a whole elementary school for a year. The FFK partners with participating schools to provide food-filled backpacks to children in need.
The KRT Fellowship, which is named after three of its founders (Patricia Kelly, Ph.D., PA-C, UAMS Chancellor Dan Rahn, M.D. and Richard Turnage, M.D.) is an organization designed to spread the word about PA’s, who are a vital and often overlooked part of the health care process.
Registration for Heroes Against Hunger is $25 and you can do that by clicking here. The race starts at 8 a.m. on Jack Stephens Dr. on campus and participants are welcome to walk the race as well. For more information on KRT, visit their website.
