Prepare to get muddy….
and have the time of your life!
Nate’s Junior Warrior Run challenges kids to age appropriate obstacles that will have junior warriors crawling through mud, climbing, carrying and having a great time! Children ages 10-18 will join their peers to compete as a team or participate as individuals. All obstacles are optional and there will be numerous volunteers stationed throughout the course to help out.
Nate’s Junior Warrior Run is not a timed event; it is an age appropriate endurance event designed to encourage our junior warriors to perform their best, challenge themselves, make new friends, and help fellow warriors to the finish line! Be a junior warrior and overcome obstacles in honor of the courageous children who are battling cancer every day at Connecticut Children’s.
At the finish line, all junior warriors will receive a Finisher Medal and are encouraged to join in the refreshments, music and entertainment surrounding the day!

Who You ARE Supporting
My second pregnancy was a smooth, healthy one with no red flags on any of my routine ultrasounds. Rylan was born in Waterbury on Monday, October 6, 2015 weighing 9lbs 1oz. There were no red flags at the time of Rylan’s birth. It was not until 24 hours later, when he was ready to be discharged, that everything changed. Rylan went for two routine tests. A hearing test and a fairly new test for newborns- the pulse ox test (non-invasive test measures blood oxygen in the body).
