“Hope to Walk” in Blacksburg has now fitted people in some of the world’s poorest countries with free, low-tech prosthetic legs over the past few years. That takes funds and now Hope to Walk will hold a second annual 5k between this Friday and Sunday, hoping to raise $100,000. The 5K signup is free through Sunday – but Kristen Staples with Hope to Walk says the idea is for participants to make donations or secure sponsorships for their run, walk or even a bike ride.
