Run For My Son UPDATE!!

UPDATE! We are moving the run to October 8, pending final approval from Parks and Rec Dept. because of a conflict with another run!!





We are planning a 5K and 1 mile fun run/walk on October 8 to raise money for PPMD (Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy), who contributes a large amount of money to research for Duchennne's Muscular Dystrophy, the type of MD Garrett has. So mark your calendars!



Many of you have asked in the past how you can help us. Well, here you go! I'm going to need some volunteers to help us put this thing on. These are the roles I need filled:





  • Donations (going to local stores/restaurants), or if you or someone you know has a company willing to donate money or other items



  • Pre-Registration Table



  • Registration Table



  • Start



  • Finish



  • Course Turns



  • Aid Stations on Course



  • Equipment Setup



  • Mile Markers On Course and Aid Station Set-up On Course



  • Finish and Start Area Set-up



  • Awards



  • Clean-up


We will need several people for each category. If you have race experience (either running or setting it up), or have a willing heart, we need you, your church group, your running group, your school class...



Also, while this race will be listed in the Run For Our Sons group through PPMD, we will be naming it in honor of Garrett. So, I need some creative name ideas for the race!



If you are willing to help or have a creative race name for us, please email me or leave a comment with your contact info: ambersapp81@hotmail.com




SAVE THE DATE!




OCTOBER 8, 2011

This is my heart... Garrett is Nana's baby boy who I love more than my own life. He makes me jump up and down on my bed, fight dragons and even a pirate or two. He is the best little snuggler watching movies, eatting popcorn and brownies when we can sneak them LOL. We need a cure and the only way we can get that is through prayer and research. I'm there whatever it takes.
