KAMR Local 4 News' Mya Clark is lacing up her running shoes for a good cause as she prepares to participate in the Sunshine for Charlotte 5K on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Proceeds from the event benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Amarillo and Charlotte's Room, which provides families with a place to stay while their children receive medical care at local hospitals.

For Clark, the race is about more than crossing the finish line.
