Cross Country Runner for Juvenile Arthritis is in Arkansas

March 9th, 2010

We received email notification of Patrick’s journey and although we are not on the running route, I thought it was important for all of us to know about this running event that will be taking place in Arkansas for the next week or so.  You may know of others who are in the route Patrick is running or may choose to travel to meet him – or maybe support his mission.

Hello Running Club members of Arkansas,

Patrick McGlade is a young 21-year-old college graduate from VA running across the country to promote awareness and raise money for the children afflicted with juvenile arthritis.  He started in Huntington Beach, CA on Jan 2 and will be passing through Arkansas from Mar 8 – Mar 19.  We invite your membership to join him at any point running through Arkansas.  Run one mile or 30 miles, your choice! 

Visit his website by clicking on the image above for further details concerning route and how you can support. 

You can also call him at 540-845-3162 to coordinate a joining point.  If anyone would like to host him for an evening in their home, feel free to contact me to coordinate.  Again, look at the “host” column on his Route page on the website and see which days are still open.

If you feel this is appropriate, I ask you to forward this email to your membership so they can be part of this historic run!

Thanks for all your support,

Desi McGlade

(Patrick’s dad – Logistics coordinator for PatricksRun4Arthritis)
