Speed for Need is off and running after a couple AWESOME spring races in LKN thus far in 2018. Now we are called to step up and push Ava & Matias at the Amazing Grace 5K, launching from Grand Oak Elementary.
The Amazing Grace Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) formed in honor of Grace Endris Haynes, an inspiring young woman who fought Osteosarcoma (a rare pediatric bone cancer) for 22 months. It was formed in accordance with Grace’s desire to provide financial support for clinical trials that focus on treating Osteosarcoma, give financial assistance to families fighting pediatric cancer, and help fund Make-A-Wish efforts in Central and Western North Carolina.
The MISSION of Speed for Need is to raise awareness and foster inclusion of those with a special need through participation in fitness events supported by the men of F3 Nation.
Track Commanders lead the way in every Speed for Need event. The synergy created between the Track Commanders, drivers, runners, and spectators helps:
- raise awareness for social causes
- encourage inclusion
- connect Track Commanders with F3 Nation and the overall fitness community
The Track Commanders motivate us and others to step up, engage, and be servant leaders. So the question stands…
