Thousands turn out for Strides for life 5k run and walk

KENS 5, San Antonio

Thousands of people participated in the 2015 Strides for Life 5k Run/Walk and Family Fest. It was held at the Nelson Wolff Stadium early Saturday morning.

The event focuses on the importance of organ donation and raises awareness of kidney disease.
