December 3, 2011 as Stan and I were participating in the St. Jude Half Marathon, we thought what a great way tohonor Brian and to help other families, and that is how the Brian Valley Memorial 5K +1 came to be. We are asking people to go the extra mile to help others. It is a little different, and Brian would want it that way.
With the help of Mayor Fletcher we have been able to get our first annual race on the books. It has not been easy and we have not done it alone. We have a board of 5, plus executive positions. We have worked with the RRCA and have our 501(c) 3 status. Now with the help of people like you we will be able to make this race a success. If you have never had to use a place like the Ronald McDonald House of Arkansas, count your blessings. If you have had to use one, count your blessing also that you had one of these great house's to call home.
