The weather should be cooler by then! Sounds like a great event for a good cause.

Thanks, we did the run last year the first week in October and it was beautiful out. We had 200 runners come out last year, it was great!

Hope you have a great day. I will have toput that on my calendar and run 5k here that day.

Thanks!
We raised over $13,000 last year that went directly to Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy research.
This year we are reaching out to the epilepsy community more and are inviting companies that make safety equipment/devices for people with epilepsy to come to our event with to show their products. When Paul was alive we had a very hard time finding stuff. There does not seem to be a good central location for finding safety items. If anyone has any ideas on companies that I could invite to our 5K, I'd love to hear from you.
