Getting the word out....

Last week was my annual mammogram. For better or worse, my OB/GYN recommended annual exams due to my Mom’s history of breast cancer occurrences. Stepping into the imaging machine, helps to remind me why we work so hard on the F.A.B. 5k. It is so that at some point in the future, those women receiving calls with questionable results after a week or two of their mammograms know that their problem is solvable and all will be well. I truly hope it is in our lifetime.

The F.A.B. 5K Team has been working diligently over the last few winter months. Registration is open; our fliers are being printed; the 2012 T-shirt is designed and recruitment of sponsors is in full swing! Our goal this year is continue to grow the race while maintaining the same level of quality and meaning this event has for us. This year we are adding some enhancements - the first 400 participants will receive T-shirts and we are adding race timing. We have a few more things in the works, too!

So, friends, I have a favor to ask of you. We are at the point in our planning where we need to kick the publicity into high gear. Can you help us get the word out? Send the link to our online registration (https://www.signmeup.com/site/online-event-registration/81730/) to your group of friends and family – who cares if they run or walk - an invitation is all it takes to do something beyond our normal boundaries. Post something on your twitter feed or facebook that you will be joining us on June 10th and you want to help make an impact. Extend those invites and we want to hear the stories of who you were able to convince to toe the line on June 10th!
