On Saturday July 20, I will be hosting a 5k run/walk to help raise money and awareness for a cancerous disease called Multiple Myeloma.  My mother died of Multiple Myeloma and so that is why I have chosen to name this event in her honor--the Patricia Kathleen 5k Run.  Multiple Myeloma is a blood cancer that is currently incurable.  Research is clearly needed to better understand this disease.  By participating in this 5k run/walk, you can help fund just such research.  The event costs $20 for adults and $10 for those under 18.   All funds raised will go to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).  The event will be Saturday July 20th at Whiteaker Middle School.  Registration starts at 8:30am and the race will begin at 9am.  The event will be 5km (6 laps).  Volunteers are also needed for running stop watches and giving out numbers.

Please RSVP by clicking on the comment section below and

commenting with your name,
and whether or not you would like to volunteer.  Thanks!
