Haulin’ for Hannah
Written by Carol Beddingfield
9/2/2010

I am always amazed how a group of individuals can help turn a devastating tragedy into one that will have a positive impact for someone in the future.

 

Haulin’ for Hannah 5K race/walk and 1 mile fun run will be held on Saturday, September 18th.  This Boom Day event was created to cherish the memory of a special little girl, Hannah Martin.

 

Hannah was loved by not only her family and friends but also by her classmates at Williams Avenue School.  The proceeds from the event will be used to provide a full four year scholarship to a member of Hannah’s graduating class.

 

One year scholarships are great but it is much harder to find the funds to continue a child’s education.  Therefore, the founders of the trust decided to create the four year scholarship.

 

The races will begin at the First United Methodist Church.  The 5K race/walk will start at 8:00 AM.  The one mile fun run will start at 9:00 AM and is for ages 12 and under only.

 

Registration fees are the following:  5K pre-registration - $20 with $25 at race day; the 1 mile fun run registration is $10.

 

Medals will be presented to the top male and female overall finishers and age group winners in the 5K.  Ribbons will be presented to age group winners in the 1 mile fun run.

 

If you are interested in participating in either event, you may obtain a registration form at the Chamber.  For questions or volunteering, use the email address, dgroghan@ftpayk12.org.

 

I want to commend Marcie Davis and Kerri Garrett for their efforts to provide a child with the chance to obtain a college degree.  Their concern to help heal a special family is immeasurable.
