Upcoming Races
From Tim Short
8th Annual International Race for Research on September 12th, 2009 at 9 am in Peabody, MA. Your club has been well represented in past years and we hope you will be able to participate once again this year.
As you know, this is a benefit 5K road race and 2-mile fun run/walk to help find the cure for Progeria, a fatal, “premature aging” syndrome that afflicts children. We are nearing the end of our first ever progeria drug trial at Children’s Hospital, potentially offering great hope to these beautiful children with Progeria. We need your support more than ever as we move forward in our quest to find a cure for this devastating disease.
We had over 250 participants last year and hope to make this year our best ever! We’d appreciate your putting our race event on your club calendar and “talking it up” amongst your members. I would be happy to send you some race applications in advance to make in-person registration easier for your members. We also have online registration again this year at www.firstgiving.com/prf
