5K Race for Riley

My AMAZING sister has helped us to partner with a local non-profit (the Rita Foundation) to put together a 5K Race for Riley. The 5K is Sat. Oct. 11th at the St. Johns Town Center. Run/Walkers can register for the race at http://www.1stplacesports.com/. Rita Foundation has agreed to give 100% of the money raised by Riley's group of run/walkers to Riley!!! Donations can be made to the Rita Foundation (http://www.the-rita-foundation.org/) and we are working on setting up a way to donate here (at Rileyturner.com) also. The Rita Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non- profit and they will provide receipts for all donations made to them. Make sure that you put Riley Turner on the donation. Josh and I hope to raise enough money so that we can provide for all of Riley's medical needs but we will also give a portion of the money raised to a fund for families in our kind of situation through PedsCare Community Hospice. Situations like ours break families apart all the time - I can't tell you the number of families with medically needy kids I have come across or learned about that have gotten divorced just so they could qualify for medical assistance as single parents. Medically needed kids need a loving and nurturing home to grow up in, not one that has fallen apart in order to "work the system". Marriages are under attack enough as it is, getting help with medical bills should not be another reason for the divorce rate to go up! (stepping down from my soap box now . . . ) I hope to see you all at the Race! :)

Please pass the race information along to anyone who can help!!!!

Much Love,
Becca Turner
