DFW Purplestride 2014

I have the team packet with all the event t-shirts and 5K race bibs, and as soon as I have time to sort through it all I will have it on my front porch as we've done in the past.  You can swing by any time after tonight, grab your shirt and/or bib, and mark your name off the list.  I'll bring it all down to the park early Saturday for anyone that can't get by my house.

Address is 11483 Pagewynne Dr., Frisco, TX 75035.  My cell is 214-587-7988.

Here are details for the event:

  • This Saturday, November 8th, at Klyde Warren Park in Dallas.
  • If you have not registered, you can sign up that day at 8:00 AM.
  • Opening Ceremonies start at 9:00 AM
  • Run/Walk begins at 9:30 AM
  • Closing Ceremony will follow (probably around 11)
The event website is Purplestride DFW Event Info, and there you will find a map with directions to Klyde Warren, a map of the race/walk routes, and parking information.

We like to sport our own laundry at this event, so we encourage you to don your Team Kelly t-shirt, whether it's an old school "Got Hope?" shirt or v2.0.  Unfortunately there's no good way to get one of these into everyone's hands before the event, so if you don't have one, or like mine it is a little threadbare, then wear the event T that comes with your registration.  

Thanks again for everyone that donated or is volunteering!  I've explained in previous blog posts (Supporting PanCAN) why PanCAN is so important to me and my family, and these events, held nationwide, are what keep this organization moving forward.

It's not too late to participate or volunteer - you can register between 8 and 9 AM Saturday.

See ya Saturday bright and early!
