Ready. Set. Glow.

Ready. Set. Glow.is a 5k I am organizing at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. It will be held during our Spring Fever week and will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The date is quickly approaching and I thought I would share a few details!

On April 12th starting at 8:30 p.m. our campus will be full of runners ready to take on our glow in the dark 5k route. Our runners are made up of men, women and juniors from the community and also ULM students! 

Last year we raised over $9,000 for St. Jude and this year our goal is to raise $16,000!! That is a large chunk of money that we are excited to give to such a great cause. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a place for children to seek treatment for life threatening illnesses. Families never pay St. Jude for anything while they are there seeking treatment. Louisiana is the second state, behind Tennessee, that sends the most children to St. Jude. 

Last spring we had our first ever 5k and it went over great! It was a color run that runners were thrilled to run in. The racers were blasted with colored powder while they raced through the course. We gave awards to the top ten racers in mens, womens and juniors. 

It takes a lot of work and many volunteers to create an event like this. I am so excited to see all of the runners and volunteers have a blast on April 12th! So Ready. Set. Glow...we are comin' for ya!
