Focus Four Run

Last year the company Kurtis works for (Focus Services) sent five of their employees to Guatemala. On August 24th of last year we receive a phone call from the guy from Choice Humanitarian who helped put the trip together. They were on their way to the village where they were going to build a school room when their plane crashed. We lost four of our friends and co-workers. It's hard to believe that it will have been a year since this tragic event. This tragedy was one of the hardest things we've ever had to deal with and really brought our company so much closer together.
A year later Focus and the families of John Carter, Cody Odekirk, Jeff Reppe, and Lydia Silva have decided we want to celebrate their lives. We have put together a four mile race and one mile walk to honor these great people and raise money for scholarships in each of their names for other Focus employees.
I'm hoping that by posting this anyone who reads this will walk to participate and/or help me spread the word. The race is one August 22nd at the George Whalen North Park in Roy which is located at 4200 S. 1900 W. The four mile run starts at 7am and the one mile walk starts at 7:30am. The cost of the run is $20 and the walk is $15. Participants will receive a t-shirt and water bottle then be entered into a raffle to win a lot of awesome prizes. If you are interested in participating you can register by visiting http://www.focusfourrun.com/. At that website you can register online or print out the registration paper and mail it in.
I hope to see some of you there!!
