I recently told Jason that I would like to get back into running and I thought I needed to register for a race in order to motivate myself. Oddly enough, a few days ago my friend Emilie called and told me that she and a group of her friends registered to run the Flying Pirate ½ Marathon on behalf of Team Charlie Claire! Not only is it AWESOME that Emilie and her friends (many of whom have never even met Charlie Claire) want to run in her honor, but it became an opportunity for me to get back into running, as I have now registered for this race as well! It's possible I may be putting the cart before the horse here, but hopefully I can get my butt in gear and train for this race. (and ps, as I set foot on that 13.1 mile course, there will be no better inspiration for me than my daughter, who has proved time and time again how much of a fighter she is, and how strong she continues to be.)
Emilie's (and her friends) goal is to get the word out about Charlie Claire's story, bring awareness to Epilepsy and hopefully raise money for the Charlie Claire Fund as well.
Emilie (and friends!) you ROCK THE HOUSE!
Here's how you can get involved:
If you are interested in running the race, Register here.
There is no group registration so just register as an individual and then email me(kcnorth13@gmail.com) so we can keep track of those running for Team CC.
We are currently looking into special race day runner/supporter Team CC t-shirts which will be available for purchase. (All proceeds go to the CC Fund) If you are into graphic arts and have a creative idea on the design for these t-shirts, please feel free to email (kcnorth13@gmail.com) a jpeg of your idea to me directly.
(If you are unable to run the race but are interested in donating to the CC Fund, you can do so by using the pay pal button on the blog or by visiting any Wells Fargo location.)
