The boys and I have run on the trail with the dogs, 10 running feet together, about once to twice a week, when other sports activities and homework don't interfere. I love these times. Having the five of us together, sharing the hobby I love most in this world.
Doing this for Zachary is what excites me most about this project though. Raising money for Marley's Mission is a plus too. It all ties in together. :)
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to spread the word like I initially planned, but that's ok, we still have 5 months of running left! Here are the details of 10 Races for 10 Years!
10 Races for 10 Years
5 Marathons
5 5ks
By March, 2014 to celebrate Zachary's 10th Birthday
- Zachary was tragically killed when he was 14 months old. He would have been 10 this March. We want to honor his life and celebrate his 10th Birthday by running 10 Races for 10 Years.
- Our goal is to come together as a family and invite other neighbors/friends/family in the community to celebrate with us.
- This Project is about celebrating Zach's life through physical fitness, community, and family togetherness. Coming together to raise money and awareness for amazing people and such a worthy cause.
Run with us and/or Sponsor us! $.10 or $10 per mile or per race, whatever you want to give.
