5K Run/Walk

Long Branch Lake

In all of our efforts to fund raise, one thing we like to do is to look for the unusual and the fun events. The ones that inspire, that encourages, and that helps to capture a memory that will last longer than we will be doing mission trips. That helps to promote enjoyment at life and at helping others. So what better a way than a run? So we started planning, deciding many factors, advertising, and praying. And on the morning of the run, we saw all of our hard work come together for a morning of fun and laughter, of crisp breathes in the air, and many wonderful memories we can share with others. Above are the runners who braved the cool morning air on a Saturday in April. We wish to thank each and every one of them for their support for our mission, and please be aware of how much you are helping others by helping us. We could never do this without each and every one of you. And we hope to see you again at our next outside run activity. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer!
