2017-11-05 09:00 - 12:00 | Griggs Reservoir, 2899 Nottingham Rd, Upper Arlington, OH, 43221, United States
My name is Emma Zid and I am currently a senior at Upper Arlington High School. For my senior capstone project I have decided to use my passion for running and exercise to help give the kids at The Homeless Families Foundation, an opportunity to pursue their self goals. Please join us for the first Movin’ It 5K Race/ Walk For Homeless Families Foundation on November 5th, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. at Griggs Reservoir. The race will be held in efforts to end the cycle of homelessness in the Columbus area. At Homeless Families Foundation (HFF) in Columbus, Oh, we have a goal to teach children the strength to grow independently and believe in themselves. One way HFF encourages children, is through exercise to build physical and mental strength. The need for tennis shoes, as well as indoor gym equipment for HFF is in high demand, especially with winter approaching. There is no official “fee” for the race, but we would life if each participant could donate one, or more pairs of gently used/ new tennis shoes for kid and adult sizes. Money donations can be made by clicking the link below, or on the day of the race. 100% of the donations will go to gym equipment for HFF at the DOWD center located in Columbus. Shoe bins will be provided at the race, along with live entertainment, food, and a race goody bag for each participant, we hope you can make it! Lastly, for more information on The Homeless Families foundation please visit their website, http://homelessfamiliesfoundation.org/contact-us.html

Movin' It 5k Run/Walk for Parkinson's
2017-11-05 07:00 - 12:00 | Griggs Reservoir, 2899 Nottingham Rd, Upper Arlington, OH, 43221, United States
OhioHealth Delay the Disease Parkinson’s Program Gets Participants Moving Again
Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes tremors, stiffness, slowness, behavioral disorders, sleep problems and functional decline. “Medicare data shows, in Ohio alone, more than 21,000 people are treated for Parkinson’s Disease each year, with 7,500 new cases diagnosed every year.”
The fight against Parkinson’s Disease is real. This disease robs us of our independence and ability to move. Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. However, for people with PD exercise is not only healthy, but a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities. In fact did you know exercise could actually help slow the progression of PD?
OhioHealth Delay the Disease™ is an evidenced-based fitness program for people living with Parkinson’s disease. The community-based wellness program is an important part of OhioHealth’s care continuum of neurologists and expert therapists working together to address the impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease. The program is designed to empower those living with Parkinson’s disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms.
Exercise and Parkinson’s Disease – What Makes Us Different
Ohio Health “Delay the Disease” is a fitness program designed to empower people with Parkinson’s Disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms. Founders, David Zid and Jackie Russell are passionate about the fact that Parkinson’s Disease can be manageable with daily exercise; it puts you back in control. This disease does NOT need to define you. Their belief in hope and inspiration for this community is a testimonial to their mission – to help provide this important tool of exercise to all people with Parkinson’s.
For a complete listing of current Delay the Disease classes, go to www.delaythedisease.com
From all of us who benefit from the Delay the Disease Classes, A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the RUNNERS and WALKERS and the DONORS that support our efforts!

IHN/Schneider House of Hope
The IHN/Schneider House of Hope is one of two organizations providing shelter to our homeless families in Greene County. Our shelter families include one or two parents, teenagers, young children, and infants. Being nonprofit, we rely on individuals, churches, businesses, organizations, and fundraisers such as this one to help us continue our work. IHN network volunteers provide evening meals and serve as overnight hosts. Our staff serves daytime meals, provides support, and links families with community services, housing, medical, and employment resources.
Your caring will help us to continue our mission.

More About The Charities
Big Walnut Friends Who Share
http://www.bigwalnutfriendswhoshare.org/
Mission and Purpose:
The Mission of the Big Walnut Friends Who Share is to work to improve the living conditions of families and individuals in need/crisis who reside in the Big Walnut School District by securing donated items (including clothing, food, household furnishings, cash contributions, etc) and then distributing them free of charge to these persons.

For Those Who Would | By Those Who Can
(http://forthosewhowould.com/)
Mission:
For Those Who Would is a certified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity based out of Richmond, KY with a mission to support individuals prevented from participating in athletic and physical recreational activities due to debilitating injuries or chronic diseases. We want to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of those individuals and to become the charity of choice for adventure and endurance athletes. For Those Who Would also supports endurance and adventure athletes by providing a mechanism through which they can raise money for their own personal cause that furthers the foundation’s mission.
But what are we really about?
For Those Who Would is about the stories of athletes who want to do “more than just compete”. It is about the stories of those who would love to be able to do what we do, but can’t due to injury or disease. It is about competing in honor of that special disadvantaged individual in your life. For Those Who Would was established so that the passion of obstacle racing and adventure athletes could be channeled into “making MEANINGFUL IMPACT” on the lives of others. This is personal and we want to help make that happen.
For Those Who Would is truly about serving others. There are no paid employees and which helps keep administrative costs as low as possible so that funds go to those who need it.

Warsaw Optimist Triathlon
2017-06-24 07:30 - 12:00 | Winona Lake Park, 1590 Park Ave, Winona Lake, IN, 46590, United States
The Warsaw Breakfast Optimist Club is proud to sponsor our 24th Annual Optimist Triathlon! This year we are again expanding our reach to include more age groups in the Multisport lifestyle.
Although we are primarily a competitive sprint adult race, we are also family friendly. So we are expanding our race to include an opportunity for youth to be involved and have added a Kayak solo and Kayak team option for those that want to opt out of the traditional sprint swim event.
Youth will use the same Swim, Bike and Run racecourse as the adults, but each event will be shortened. Youth waves will launch immediately after all adult waves.
We will have over 100 experienced volunteers participating to help make this race THE BEST RACE OF YOUR RACING YEAR!
That is our goal. And when you cross the finish line, you will be treated to the best after race food you can find at any Triathlon! Chicken, polish pierogies, pizza, fresh fruit and more!
We are again expecting well over 600 participants this year.
COME ON… JOIN US FOR A FUN DAY!!
The Optimist Club is a not for profit that donates all proceeds of this race to our youth outreach programs in our community and we are well known in our area for our support of many youth oriented activities. Please feel free to investigate our website for a full list of these events.

Warsaw / Winona Lake is in north central Indiana, on US Highway 30, about 40 miles West of Ft. Wayne. Winona Lake Park is located on in the southeast part of the greater Warsaw area on the North East side of Winona Lake at 1590 Park Ave., Winona Lake, In.

Special Adult Solo Triathlon – Kayak / Bike / Run
The last ADULT Triathlon wave launched into the water will be a Kayak / Bike / Run event that will use a kayak to complete the water portion of the event. They will use a different portion of the lake, separate from the swimmers involved in the Triathlon Sprint event. They will launch and paddle, and be expected to return their own kayak to the designated grassy area along the beach before continuing to the Bike and Run events. They will then compete on the same Bike / Run course as the other participating adult triathletes. If you want to compete in this wave, you MUST select this option during the registration process and provide your own Kayak, paddle and personal life-jacket. This group will be limited to a maximum of 30 participants. We have applied to USAT for sanctioning of this event, but at this time, we are not certain of the outcome. It is certain that all participants in this wave will be disqualified from Triathlon Sprint prizes and the Timer will be instructed to NOT report participants times to USAT. We reserve the right to terminate acceptance of further DQ applicants when we reach approximately 30 participants. This wave is intended to be a fun wave to help introduce adult participants to the sport. Kayak option contestants MUST wear a personal flotation devise and will wear a timing chip so that their times can be recorded. Participants must supply their own kayak, personal flotation devise and paddles. Top finishers in this group will be presented a race participation medallion.
Special Adult TEAM Kayak/Bike/Run

If you want to compete in this wave, you MUST select this option during the registration process and provide your own Kayak, paddle and personal lifejacket.
Special note for Kayak participants-
The Optimist Club recognizes that delivery of both bikes and kayaks on the morning of the event presents a logistics challenge. Therefore, kayak participants may opt to deliver to the designated area at Winona Lake Park beach, their kayak, personal floatation device and paddle on the evening before the race. All night security personal will be provided at the park on that evening. Kayaks may be delivered after 6:00 PM on Friday evening and must be removed by no later than 12:00 noon on Saturday. The Winona Lake Parks Department (574-267-2310) has a limited number of kayaks for rent and should be contacted early for rental fee and reservation information.

Adena Cancer Center Relay for Life 5k

Come join us at the Adena Cancer Center’s first annual Relay for Life 5K run/walk. The race will be held at the Ross County Fairgrounds during the Relay For Life on June 2, 2017. Participants will have the opportunity to run in honor of cancer survivors and in memory of those that have passed. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Awards to top three males, top three females, and top three of each age group. We will have entertainment, food vendors, raffles, and a silent auction.
Everyone has been affected by cancer, either by their own diagnosis or that of a family member or friend. Many advances have been made in the treatment of cancer. At one time a diagnosis of cancer was most likely a death sentence. Today, with better treatment options, many cancers are cured or become more of a chronic condition. However, there is much more that needs done in the way of cancer treatment. We cannot stop the fight until the battle is won.
The American Cancer Society does much to support this battle. Money raised for the American Cancer Society, by the Relay For Life, is used to help cancer patient in various ways. For instance, money goes to research. Physicians and scientist are constantly learning more about cancer cells, genetics, and ways to better treat cancer. In addition, money is used to support patients. Patients in need can receive free transportation for doctor visits and treatment. Patient receiving treatment long distances from their home may need help with hotel accommodations. All patient receiving chemotherapy that results in hair loss receives a free wig. Patient’s receive many free items such as blankets, hats, scarves, pillows ect in order to be more comfortable. Patients can attend “Look Good Feel Better” classes free of charge where they receive makeup and various products. Most of all they receive much needed support.
All Proceeds from this Relay For Life 5k will go to the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society provides education to everyone about cancer risk factors, ways to reduce risk factors, and recommended cancer screening. Once one receives a cancer diagnosis, the American Cancer Society can help educate patients and families in many ways. Information such as, how to chose a treatment team, what questions to as your doctor, and support with treatment and side effect management. Support from the American Cancer Society is always free of charge.
