Dear JSRF Friends,
The 3
rd
Experience Hope 5K held on August 28, 2016 exceeded our expectations making this year's event our best race ever! With more than 40 volunteers, including the energetic Lake Zurich Boys Cross Country team, we had over 250 people in attendance and raised nearly $9,000 for our teens! Each of you made this year's 5K Run/Walk extremely successful. We met runners and walkers of all ages... from kids as young as 12 to vibrant seniors in their upper 70's! ... Even the entire Lake Zurich Poms team
came out bright and early to participate.
We thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts, because when you come out to support the JSRF events not only do you help a teen "experience hope", but you also honor the memories of our beloved boys... Jeremy and Jean.
Wishing each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
"The Holiday Season is a Perfect Time to Reflect on our Blessings and Seek Out Ways to Make Life Better for Those Around Us." -
Terri Marshall
Peace, Love, & Gratitude,
Ciri, Scott, & Sayra
