"Left Behind" Fundraiser

We belong to a training group called MarathonFest. It is organized through the Track Shack a local running store in Orlando. This coming session we expect to have over 600 runners in training.

Each year around this time, many of our runners are leaving Orlando to run the various spring races. For those of us who did not register for a spring race, we hold our own, the "Left Behind" half marathon. This year it will be on Saturday, May 3rd. This is a fun run, with left over t-shirts and things donated to us by Track Shack. We finish it off with a "pot luck" breakfast.

Each year a charity is chosen to be the beneficiary of the donations made as the entry fee. This year the "Donna Hicken Foundation" was chosen. We are hoping to raise over $2,000. I will have a follow up post with photos early next week. Wish us luck!
