Run for Arthritis®. Across the country, bells will be ringing as people like
you tie jingle bells to their shoelaces, don festive holiday costumes and join
friends and neighbors in support of the Arthritis Foundation’s mission to
prevent, control and cure arthritis and related diseases. The Jingle Bell
Run/Walk for Arthritis raises awareness of America’s leading cause of
disability, while raising desperately needed funds to prevent, control and cure
arthritis.
Team Up to Make a
Difference!
Take a step in the right direction by forming a team to either run or walk in
the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis.
What is a team? A group of two or more people—co-workers, friends, neighbors,
family, etc.—joining together to fight arthritis.
Why enter a team? It’s fun! Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis brings people
together for an exciting and spirited way to support the Arthritis
Foundation’s mission while participating in a healthy activity. A team also
increases your visibility in your community—it shows everyone that your
company or group cares about people!

Dedicated
to memory of Chuck Whelan
"The running community and this race in particular lost a dear friend in July. After a long and frustrating fight against a nameless, severely debilitating disease, Chuck Whelan passed away. To have watched this fit, active, outgoing young man lose his life broke our hearts. In celebration of his life, we dedicate the race to his memory. While we could not help our friend, he can help us. We can rejoice in our health and life opportunities every day." Liz ireland
The plaque on the left was presented to Chuck's Mother, Sister and Son in his memory.

If you signed up to volunteer for the Marathon then you should have received information via email from Phil Hinck. If you thought you signed up and did not receive the information please contact Phil immediately. We could also use a few more volunteers to work at the finish area as some people had to back out due to other commitments. Its a lot of fun as we work in the celebrity finish area and this year there will be many celebrities running including Lance Armstrong.. If interested in volunteering send Phil an email at phinck@comcast.net.
