San Diego's 1st Annual MK 5K!!!

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to announce that we are hosting the First Annual MK 5K! It is a fun run/walk that you wont want to miss! All proceeds will be donated to the Mary Kay Foundation. We have a goal of raising a minimum of$20,000 for the foundation with this event! Donations include, but are not limited to, cash/check donations, entry fees, t-shirt sales, old cell phones and empty ink cartridges. Pink donation bags will be available to put your old cell phones and ink cartridges into and send to the foundation.

These are causes that are very near and dear to my heart, as I have been affected by both. Several members of my family have had cancer and many more friends have battled with this disease. I have also been, in the past when I was young, in a relationship that was abusive. For me it was a struggle and for the longest time I thought I was to blame. With the help and support of family members, I was able to leave. This is not the case with all women and young teens. My goal is to help raise awareness and help young girls understand and recognize the signs of unhealthy relationship and to be strong and get help.

Please help by registering to run/walk, making a monetary donation, or a donation of time or goods. we are in need of a lot of helping hands and willing hearts! If you are interested in helping, in any aspect, please email me at: SanDiegoMk5k@gmail.com

More information on race information, prizes, give aways and silent auction, help needed will be posted on this blog and on my facebook page. Event Details are posted in the entry below. Thanks again for all your help!

If you are not familiar with the Mary Kay Foundation [formerly named the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation] here is a little information about them:

The Mary Kay Foundation was created in 1996 and its mission is two-fold: to fund research of cancers affecting women and help prevent domestic violence while raising awareness of the issue. Since the Foundation's inception, it has awarded nearly $19 million to shelters and programs addressing domestic violence and $12.2 million to cancer researchers and related causes throughout the United States. to learn more about the Mary Kay Foundation, log onto http://www.marykayfoundation.org/ or call 1-800-MkCARES (562-2737)
