Run The Rocks 5K is next Sunday!

The RUN THE ROCKS 5K is rapidly approaching!

On Sunday, October 11, Jim and I will be taking part in this event, which is held at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, in memory of my father, Rev. Edwin R. Lincoln, who passed away from Pulmonary Fibrosis on July 26, 2008, and Jim’s mother, Winifred Merrill, who passed away from Pulmonary Fibrosis on March, 4, 2009.

This event raises funds for the American Lung Association of Colorado (ALAC). These funds help support ALAC Mission:

Asthma: Educating children and families about how to manage asthma so they can live active, healthy lives.
Tobacco: Ninety percent of all people who smoke got addicted before the age of 21. The ALAC program, “Not-On-Tobacco,” helps hundreds of high school students quit smoking.
Clean Air: ALAC works to promote mass transit, alternative fuels, and other measures to keep our air clean.
Lung Disease: ALAC provides workshops to help people with lung disease live healthier, more active lives.
Research: The American Lung Association, both locally and nationally, has provided $6 million to lung health research initiatives in Colorado over the last eight years.
