Every year, the Columbia Winery Charity Walk and Run raises money for Seattle Children’s Hospital uncompensated care fund.

The annual event features a patient ambassador and this year’s ambassador is Kirkland resident Mason Gordon, who has gone through proton radiation treatment for a brain tumor and cancer.

The fundraiser begins at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 19 at Columbia Winery, 14030 N.E. 145th St. in Woodinville and will feature a 10K race, 5K run or walk and a free kids’ dash.
