Letter to the Editor
More than 805 participants and 200 volunteers took part in the United Way of Gordon County’s 22nd Unity Run 5-K and another 71 children participated in the AGC Pediatrics 1- K Kid’s Run. The Unity Run has served as the United Way community campaign kick- off for the last 22 years. I want to thank everyone who made this event a tremendous success.
