Dancing. Mariachi bands. Cheers and happy tears. The 11th Wings for Life World Run saw just about every kind of celebration imaginable, and for good reason: Over a quarter million participants re-confirmed the event’s status as the largest running event in the world. And more importantly, if you were one of those runners, you helped to raise a phenomenal event record of **8,104,499 euros**, 100% of which will go to vital research and clinical trials to find a cure for spinal cord injury.
