Road of Life: Cancer Prevention for Kids is proud to announce its
partnership with the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon & 10K. Beginning
in 2005, Road of Life will be the charity for the new walking divisions
of both the full and half marathon. Road of Life is an official charity
of the Cleveland Marathon and a portion of the registration fees for
all walkers will go to benefit its cancer prevention programs.
To help aid Road of Life and its mission, all registrants for the
Cleveland Marathon can create their own personal fundraising pages
simply by visiting www.active.com/donate/roadoflife2005. These pages
are easy to use and allow individuals to generate personalized letters
and donor e-lists, set fundraising goals, and track donations. These
pages are a wonderful way to alert friends and family about your
involvement in the Cleveland Marathon and share your support for Road
of Life with the community.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for Road of Life,” said Road of Life
founder, Rob Emrich. “To become attached to an event with the history
and reputation of the Cleveland Marathon is a wonderful chance to
promote our message and programming.”
According to Emrich, becoming attached to the walking divisions was also important for Road of Life.
“One of the main themes behind Road of Life’s programming is getting
people active, no matter what their circumstances. Most people are
intimidated by the idea of running a marathon, but working towards
walking 26 – or just 13 – miles seems a lot more reasonable. It’s
something that almost anyone can accomplish, and we see these walking
divisions as a celebration of that spirit.”
In order to accommodate walkers, the marathon course will be open a
full eight hours, along with food and water stations. Walkers will have
the same 7 AM start time as the runners. Medals will be awarded to all
participants. The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon & 10K will take place
on Sunday, May 22, 2005.
To register for the race and raise money for Road of Life, please visit
the Cleveland Marathon at www.clevelandmarathon.com or (800) 467-3826.
