After the support people gave me during my 2013-2014 Tedy's Team season I want to pay it forward and give back by hosting a quick and easy fundraiser for the Better Life Foundation, a charity organization created by my favorite band, 3DD. The reason? Brad Arnold, lead singer to the band showed me support during my last fundraising campaign for the American Stroke Association and Tedy's Team. I thought reaching out to my fellow 3DD fans and their family and friends would be the perfect start.
As a member of Tedy's Team and the American Stroke Association part of my mission is to promote a healthy life style, which is why I'd like to host a virtual 5k to raise money for the Better Life Foundation.
A virtual run or walk means you do the 5k (3.12 mile) “race” at your leisure between June 11 and July 1st. Map out your own route, get your friends together or jump on the treadmill. Your call.
This “race” is open to anyone – all over the world! I will provide a race bib (number) that you can print out and fix to your shirt (if you want) and then take a selfie to upload to the group, facebook or instagram with the hashtag #thebetterlifefoundation5k
You let me know your time and I'll post the final results for everyone at the end. Run or walk - you're making a difference! EVERYONE that completes the “race” will receive a Finisher’s Certificate in the mail!
The entry fee would be $25, which means 40 participants would bring in $1,000 for the Better Life Foundation.
I want to make it clear that 3 Doors Down is in no way sponsoring this event, this is a fan giving his thanks for the support they gave me during a difficult year of healing after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. Brad has continuously told me that I don’t owe him anything for his help in my fundraising, but I want to do my part. Help me pay it forward!
