About the 5k & Walk for Barton In Memory of Rachel Thomas
This race in Beverly honors a specific person and raises money for a camp program that serves children with type one diabetes. Runners and walkers take part side by side, and the atmosphere reflects that purpose, people who knew Rachel Thomas mix with families connected to the Barton Center and supporters who simply showed up to help.
Proceeds go directly toward camp and year-round programs for kids with type one diabetes, many of whom attend at little or no cost. That context is present on the course. This is not a race where the charity feels distant from the starting line.
