Join us for our first annual marathon and 5k run in honor of Desmond T. Doss.
This memorial run will make it possible for the Desmond T. Doss Christian Academy to continue the legacy of Desmond Doss at the academy bearing his name. As it was his prayer to reach one more wounded soldier, it is our desire to continue to reach one more student.
