Goodguys can walk or run in the 5K,
half marathon, full marathon or marathon relay. Volunteers are also
needed to work water stations or serve as road course monitors.
Contact: andi@jonniesgoodguys.org to volunteer. The race coordinators will give Goodguys $100.00 for every 10 volunteers.
Last years efforts raised over $900.00 for The National Marfan Foundation.
Lets see if we can break $1000.00
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) sufferer, Erin Brown, 29 of Avon, Indiana
began each morning with a run. In April 2008 she began to feel pain
in her joints, by June she stopped running completely. PsA is an
auto immune disease that has irreversibly attacked over 20 of Erin’s
joints. The “TMJ” joint in her jaw is completely gone.
Jaw surgery in June 2009 to break and reposition her jaw was successful
in giving her a limited range of motion. Insurance has yet to decide
how much of the procedure, if any they will cover.
Additional medical costs, medications and therapies are not covered
as Erin is one of many American’s under insured. Erin takes
her diagnosis in stride as she continues to search for meaning.
She now serves on committee's of the Indiana Chapter of the Arthritis
Foundation. Erin's goal is to be an advocate for those with PsA. |
