Virtual 5k

You know how they say some of your best ideas come to you when you're in the shower?  Well it happened to me a few minutes ago and I want to get this down in black and white before the weekend craziness takes over.
 
An acquaintance of mine's little girl is celebrating being cancer free for almost 4 years.  June 11th she will be holding her Third Annual Alex's Lemonade Stand which raises money for pediatric cancer research.  This year her goal is to raise $10,000!  The idea popped into my head to hold a virtual 5k with money being donated to

Lily's Third Annual Alex's Lemonade Stand.

So here is what you need to do to participate.  

1) Pledge to participate the weekend of June 11th by leaving a comment below. (and really if you can't participate that weekend it can be any weekend).

2) Walk, run, skip, crawl, bike, swim 5k (3.1 miles) sometime that weekend.  It can be broken up or even any combination of whatever type of exercise that gets you moving.

3) This is the most important.  Visit Lily's Third Annual Alex's Lemonade Stand and DONATE whatever you are able to afford.  Consider this your registration fee.

4) Spread the word.  If you have a blog please share this,  If you don't have a blog post this on your Facebook or just send out emails to people who you know might want to participate.

5) Lastly make sure you come back to check in that you completed the 5k and post your time if you would like.  I will do a posting on Friday June 10 at night.  

Like I said, I just came up with this idea.  Between now and then I will try to come up with a printout that you can wear on your shirt if you would like.


Let's help Lily surpass this goal!
