Brief Description 

The 6th Annual Race For Grace 5K & 1 Mile Walk benefits the Reflections Of Grace Foundation.

Race For Grace and its beneficiary Foundation are named after Grace Elizabeth Ekis, a precious 5-year-old

who lost her courageous 13-month battle with a rare cancerous brain tumor on Valentine’s Day 2008.

Grace’s cancer was a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG),

a tumor of the brainstem for which there is no known cure and there have been no advances in

treatment options for more than 30 years.

We encourage you to register prior to April 1, 2013 to ensure you will receive a race t-shirt. However,

we will also accept registrants from 7:00-8:00AM on race day. Extra t-shirts will be ordered, but supplies

may be limited. Be sure to arrive early to partake in pre-race entertainment and warm-up routine led by Zumba

instructors. Also, breakfast will be available at the concession stand starting at 7:00AM. After the race,

there will be an award ceremony, charitable hair donations, dance performances, Chinese & Silent auctions,

and full concession stand of lunch items available for purchase. (If you are interested in donating your hair,

please email RaceForGrace@reflectionsofgrace.org). An awareness table and fun activities for children and

families to enjoy will be featured throughout the day as well. The day’s events will conclude around 1:00PM.

We look forward to seeing you on April 6, 2013!
