11th Annual--Anything for a Friend 5K

 

Calling all hearts!

Some would say that 2020 ushered in an era of discontent, fear, and maybe even self-protection.  That tiny virus and the fear that came with it altered many things and even shifted this amazing race in some ways.  In our decade long history, we enjoyed many years of gathering and supporting one another in person, we shifted things in 2020 for safety and families gathered in smaller groups and we shared pictures with each other, and then the crazy of life came back in full force and we stepped away from the race for a couple years. 

Unfortunately, cancer and other life threatening diseases and situations did not go into lock down with the rest of us during Covid.  When we were finally free from the masks and other restrictions, the community was not free of cancer, struggle, and pain. In fact, we came out of the restrictions with HEARTS IN LOCK DOWN.  Many of us were in self protect mode…

In some ways it felt like the race had run to its own end.  We were faced with the question, “Do we leave it in the past with honor and incredible memories or is there still a “race” to be run?”  We grappled with that question and it was answered by your amazing hearts…YOU WANTED THE RACE and we have missed you!

We are calling on you to BRING YOUR HEART and GATHER, ushering in the next decade full of love and purpose in doing what you can in the face of hard.  What is your ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND?  Come and ignite your purpose.  Come and join something bigger than the pain.  We are GATHERING ALL HEARTS!
