Strike Out ALS 5k Giveaway!

I was presented with the opportunity to run the Strike Out ALS 5k in July. I haven't had an opportunity to run this race before so I am very excited to run it this year. And it's for a great cause (more details to come), which makes running it even better.


It's a Tuesday evening at U.S. Cellular Field (a.k.a Comisky Park) and I work downtown so this actually works out perfectly for me (even though I am a Cubs fan!).

This race is supporting the Les Turner ALS Foundation. If you are not sure what ALS is, this is on the race website and gives a good description:
    "Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or motor neuron disease (MND), is a progressive disease that causes muscle weakness, difficulty speaking and swallowing and generally, complete paralysis. In most cases, while the body continues to deteriorate, the mind remains unaffected."
     
Read more about the organization and this disease here.
 
The people at the Les Turner ALS Foundation have been generous enough to offer a free entry for this race to my readers (you guys)!

  10. Hi Amanda! Please don't include me in the race giveaway entries, as I'm already registered to run this race. =) This will be my third consecutive year running it! I look forward to catching up with you at the Cell! And I am excited to see what new changes they are implementing this year. Should be a blast, regardless!
