CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - The Miami Children’s Health Foundation hosted its sixth annual 5K run in Coral Gables, Saturday.

Hundreds of people laced up their sneakers for a day of fun outside the city hall.

The event served to raise money for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and young cancer survivors. “For me, it’s about the community, who’s behind me and supporting me, and that’s Miami,” said cancer survivor Raquel. “Everyone who showed up here today, and I really appreciate that from the bottom of my heart, it means everything.”

7’s Diana Diaz was on hand to emcee the event.

The foundation raised more than $200,000.
