10k run, 5k run, 5k walk

Last year was our first year, we had over 150 participants and raised over $14,000 for CURED (Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Disease).  My son has Eosinophilic Esophagitis and cannot eat foods.  He receives his nutrition from an amino acid based formula through a feeding tube in his stomach.  Our goal is to find better treatment plans (as there is no proven treatment for this disease at this time) and hopefully a cure!!!  We will hold our 2nd Annual Carter's Walk 4 CURED on May 19, 2012 at Yokuts Park.  We will have a 10k run, 5k run and a 5k Family Fitness Walk.
I've got a Facebook page setup - www.Facebook.com/CartersWalk4CURED
I'm also working on a website - www.carterswalk4cured.com
