Courageous Christopher's 5k Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the Big Day at Asbury Church as the Courageous Christopher 5k kicks off at 10am! Registration and packet pick up begins at 8:30 am.

The last time I talked with Christopher's mom Karen on Wed. she told me that there 285 people already registered and I'm sure that number is over 300 now. Lets add the race day entrants and that is going to be a lot of people coupled with their guests. This is poised to be an amazing event and a great 5k field!

Following the race a fun filled family event, which everyone is invited to, has been planned. There will be a pig roast and plenty of food for everyone for lunch. A snow cone machine, ice cream, cotton candy, and popcorn will also be there for every one's snacking needs. Even your dogie, if you bring him, will have treats available.

For the kiddies there will be 4 bounce houses, Sunshine the Clown, face painting, balloons, and fire trucks, and more.

Musical entertainment will be provided by Red No Blue and there will be gift drawings for all those who have entered!

The course starts at Asbury Church and snakes its' way through the Dogwood/Riverside area. Asbury church parking lot to Wesley, left on Dogwood to Pinebluff, right onto Pinebluff to Woodland, right on Woodland to Riverside Dr., left on Riverside to Fountain (pass Christopher's house) to Woodland, right on Woodland to Pinebluff, left on Pinebluff all the way back to Asbury.

"Our community has been more than amazing. The overwhelming support and interest in this cause and in helping Christopher has been truly remarkable. Dravet syndrome is a terrible illness - this race and our community have given some sort of peace and purpose to our family. We are blessed and it is because of Salisbury! The biggest and best thing Christopher and our family can say is a huge THANK YOU!!" - The Mull Family

Remember doggies and your children are encouraged to participate! Please come out and celebrate your family and community tomorrow morning and throughout the afternoon! I'm proud to see the altruistic gift giving by Salisbury as a whole for this event and all the other events that have been going on of late!

And please drive with caution if you will be in the course area that day!
