Run for Research: American Liver Foundation

On December 20th, there will be a 5K run and one mile walk in Mesa to help a former 'Mesan' raise money for a charity in order to enter the Boston Marathon. (You have to raise $4,000 for a charity in order to participate in the Boston Marathon). His charity of choice is the American Liver Foundation.

The race begins at 9:00 am and will be at Alta Mesa Park (1920 N. Alta Mesa Dr.). Anyone with a liver is invited to participate. Organized races are grand ideas: benefit charities and our bodies at the same time.

Why are we posting this so far in advance? Two reasons, actually. First, now you don't have the excuse that you don't have time to train and second, registering by December 10th will save you a little $ and ensure you get a fancy shirt.
