>>> Rebel Race for
Allie <<< Wilkie Warrior, and former special forces soldier, "Goldberg" is going to compete in a military-style 5K to help raise money for Big Al's granddaughter, Allie. As you may know, in August of 2010, Allie was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer known as Ewing's Sarcoma. She has been bravely battling the disease since that time with surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. No one knows better than Goldberg about what this little girl is going through and he, although only quite recently having lost his own leg to cancer, is putting himself to the test to help raise money in support of Allie's struggle. How you can help... There are several ways in which you can help us make this as wildly successful as only the Wilkie Warriors can: DONATE Go to https://www.raceit.com/fundraising/donate.aspx?event=7552&fundraiser=r2368193 and enter a contribution amount under the heading Hope for Allie. PARTICIPATE Sign up to run with Goldberg at https://www.raceit.com/Register/groups/jointeam.aspx?event=7552; in the Team dropdown box, select Team Wilkie. VOLUNTEER
The Rebel Race organizers will donate
$40 to our cause for every person that volunteers to assist during the
event. Volunteers will be asked to assist with parking, food/beverage,
course marshaling, registration/info tent, gear check, and general
assistance throughout the venue area. Visit
https://www.raceit.com/Register/?event=5105
for more information and to register as a volunteer. SPREAD THE WORD! Pass this information along to anyone and everyone that you think might be interested in supporting Allie!
The Defiance Fight Gear team has launched a campaign to show their support, and to help others show their support, for those serving, or who have served, in the U.S. Armed Forces. The campaign is in honor of the fallen, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country. For information on this fundraiser, the causes that will benefit from it, or to purchase a shirt and support this worthy project, please visit our website, at http://www.defiancefightgear.com.
