Sunday's Challenge

2,000 runners/walkers need to cross the finish line at "This Run's for Jack"

In the spirit of friendly competition (which Jack enthusiastically embraced),
a very special friend of Jack's has offered to make a generous donation to support our mission, but there is one challenge we must meet in order to receive the donation ...

2,000 runners/walkers must cross the finish line on Sunday!

With your help, we can meet this challenge.

Extend an invitation to all your friends, family, teammates and co-workers to come out on Sunday morning to Ackerman Park in Glen Ellyn and walk or run the beautiful course, challenge yourself to a few hills and then join us for breakfast.

As Jack would have said,

"Game On"

Look forward to seeing on Sunday,

Sharon Marston
