Weekly reminder and a peek at some of the baskets

Here is your weekly reminder about the upcoming event for Finley. On August 20th from 10am to 2pm - we will be having the first annual FUN run/bike/walk and picnic to raise money for research for Finley's RDH12 LCA. So far we have well over 100 people pre-registered which is great! Keep those pre-registrations coming.

You can pay the pre-registration price as long as I receive your registration before August 20th. But you can register the day of as well! We want you to come even if it is a "day of" decision. Walk ins are all welcome.

It is going to be such a fun day. We are going to have food, and a basket raffle. We have a Sidney Crosby jersey that we are raffling off. We will have a bounce house, face painting, and balloon animals for the kids. Everyone who registers gets a t-shirt. You can come JUST to eat for just $5/person!

You can send in the registration I sent you, or you can go to HERE:
