5K Walk / Run this weekend!

Just a reminder that the 5k walk/run for Riley is this weekend. We have partnered with a local non-profit (the RITA Foundation) to put together a 5K Race for Riley. The 5K is this Sat. Oct. 11th at 8:00am the St. Johns Town Center. For more information or to register to participate in the race please click on the 5k Run/Walk for Riley link to the right or you can go to http://www.1stplacesports.com/. The RITA Foundation has graciously agreed to give 100% of the money raised by Riley's group of run/walkers to Riley!!! If you are not participating in the race but would still like to make a donation donations can be made here on Riley's site by clicking below where it says "Donate Online" or you can make a donation through the RITA Foundation (http://www.the-rita-foundation.org/). 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! (but 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
