I'm back from vacation and into the swing of things again finally. I hope all of you had a great Easter Break with your families. My trip to OBX was much needed and 100% relaxing and spending time with my parents was great.
Since I was out of the loop my mother showed me an article about Christopher Mull in the Daily Times. If you missed the article in Saturday's Times, Christopher suffers from Dravet Syndrome which causes seizures and is currently incurable and very difficult to treat. On Saturday, May 17th there is a charity 5k starting at Asbury Church in Salisbury to help raise $11,000 for a trained dog from 4 Paws for Ability which will sense when Christopher will go into a seizure. All proceeds will go to pay towards all expenses in getting the dog. A pig roast and picinic will follow.
The cost is $25 for pre-registration and $30 on the day of the race. Registration begins at 8:30 am and the race goes off rain or shine at 10am.
This is a great cause and I will be out running the race if I can. If not, I'm still donating!
The official website is http://www.courageouschristopher.com/
If anyone has information or is in charge of any charitable fundraisers please e-mail me and I will put the information and reminders up. Again, I appreciate any feedback on how to make the site better on sports. I will try to post as much as I can, albeit work and other committments take up time.
Thanks,
Nick

You can also pick up flyers to enter the race at Cathy's Pet Salon & Spa, Court Plaza, Salisbury. Come on people, let's all help this child get this dog! Thanks, Cathy-Jo
Count me in Nick. The pig roast part, that is.
Good places to get the word out to the runners: Vernon Powell, Dicks, YMCA, and other local gyms. Put the flyers out at these places, runners want to run!!!
