The Lightning McKennedies
KAPOW!
Fast as a thunderbolt and twice as loud, the Lightning McKennedies will be running (and raising) up a storm in the BC/Saint Columbkille Race to Educate this April 29. And we're asking you to join us as a sponsor!
The suspense is building like thunderheads:
- Will Patrick "POP!" Kennedy strike victory in the 5K?! Too soon to say.
- Will Declan "Dash" Kennedy flash past the competition in the 50-meter kids' race?! Time will tell.
- Will "Anbaric" Andrea and Oona Jean "Gigawatt" Kennedy (st)roll like thunder across the finish line?! We'll find out.
- Will Team Lightning McKennedy hit their goal of raising $200 for a good cause? YES, WITH YOUR HELP!
All the money we raise from friends and family members like you will benefit eductional programming at Declan's school. Please help us out--and cheer us on--by making a contribution that's comfortable for you today!
