Run4Rett ~ Sunny & Successful

The 11th Annual Run4Rett was a great success. Not only was it a beautiful day, but the highest on-line combined (registrations & donations) amount raised, approximately $50,000 and counting.   As the pledge sheets are tallied.   Combined with the silent auction sales.  The registration on the day of the event and the continuing on-line donations at www.rett.ca, the number continues to rise

 

As the Race Coordinators for the 3rd year in a row, David and I would like to thank all of you for your continued support. Each year we learn a little more, we change a few things and we hope for fantastic weather. We really had a home run this year.   Thank you family and friends of O.R.S.A. for coming to the signature event Run4Rett. Many walk/run/roll the 1 km or 5 km route, all of us participate for the same reason ”building healthy tomorrows” for those living with Rett syndrome.
