On Saturday, August 13, the RMUoHP Foundation hosted the Rocky Mountain 5K charity event at the University’s campus in Provo. Prizes were awarded to the top three female and male runners. Students, employees, and community members participated in the event, which purpose was to benefit the Shaw family of Orem. The Shaws, who have a seven-year old son with special needs related to a seizure disorder, heart and lung disease, and cerebral palsy, had been struggling to adopt a daughter from the Ukraine before she would be released from the orphanage to the streets. As the 5K developed, the Shaws gained custody of their new daughter and funds raised will help them with major medical and adoption expenses.  RMUoHP’s entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy students, who have helped the Shaw’s son with his physical therapy routine, were inspired by the family’s challenges and generosity.
