Harlie's 5k

Harlie is a friend of a friend. Her story is one that has touched my heart. Some stories just do, you know?
"Harlie is 6 and is in Kindergarten at Glen Allen Elementary. She has Goldenhar Syndrome, VACTERL Association and a lung defect that required the removal of 2 lobes on the right side. After 30 surgeries (4 of them open heart), she is remarkably age appropriate. She is incredibly sweet and very funny, in fact, you can't help but to fall in love with her."
If you live in the Richmond, VA area, this 5k is being held 9/30 to benefit her and her family. If you are NOT in that area, you can still run! Click here, and register online to be a phantom runner. Then run your 5k wherever you happen to be!

To sweeten the deal for you, if you comment here, register, and run, and then email me with your finish time by October 1 (bandthejs at yahoo dot com), you'll be entered to win your choice of a Subway or Chipotle gift card. AND if you are interested in double prizes, check out g's facebook page to find out how you could win even more.

We are runners and we can help! Ready, set, GO!

  2. What a sweet story! Can't think of a better reason to get out and run. I hope they have a huge turn out!
