It is always a special occasion at the annual Race for Riley fundraiser at Georgia Baptist Children’s Home in Palmetto. Now in its third year, the event is named for five year-old Riley Peek who was diagnosed three years ago with Mitochondrial disease. Parents Rodney and Waynette Peek chose Riley’s school, the Joseph Sams School in Fayetteville, as the recipient of this year’s fundraiser. Photo/Ben Nelms.
