Thank you to everyone who joined us at our sold-out event!
We came together for an unforgettable afternoon with New York Times Bestselling author and ultramarathoner Dion Leonard and his unlikely companion, Gobi — a small stray dog who against all odds ran alongside Dion during his 155-mile race across the Gobi Desert in China.
Voices for Children believes in the power of commitment, resilience, and love – even in difficult terrain. Gobi and Dion remind us that when we put our minds and hearts to something, we can make a difference in ways that are beyond our imagination.
