Why is the 5K Related to St. Patrick's Day?
|
Everyone knows St. Patrick as the patron saint of Ireland, but what made him so great? How did he even become a saint?
Patrick's name has become synonymous with pots of gold, leprechauns, and wild parties in March, but is that how he lived his own life? The short answer is no. St. Patrick was a man who loved Jesus and loved the Irish people. He was a missionary. Since he spent his life as a missionary, we want to honor him by raising money for missionaries. |
In our own back yard we have men and women who feel abandoned by the very nation they have fought to protect. The Hinderless22 Ronnie McNutt Foundation has made it their mission to improve and support the mental health of our veterans.
Our goal this year is to raise $5000 for Hinderless22. All proceeds will go toward this very worthy charity and will help change the lives of those who have protected our lives.
