Run For Their Lives...

 We have a great story today of a family that I am really close with.  Their names are the Neikirks and this past year they held a race to raise money for the Woman's help centers of Jacksonville.  Here is Lacey's story of how her family has taken action on the issue of abortion:

 "This past year my dad, myself and several friends, Run For Their Lives Inc., put on a 5k race to benefit 4 local pregnancy centers.
Run For Their Lives is a 501(c)3 non profit organization which exists to educate and promote the pro-life cause.  

September 5th 2009, was the 1st inaugural run. We had 527 runners and walkers. We were blessed to raise $11,000 for
 Womens Help Center (http://www.pregnancyjacksonville.com/), First Coast Womens Services (http://fcws.org/),
Emergency Pregnancy Services (http://www.epsjax.org/) and Womens Resource Center (http://www.njwrc.com/).

We had over 20 vendors present the day of the race, including the pregnancy centers,
sponsors and local businesses supporting the prolife cause.

It was such an honor to be apart of Run For Their Lives Inc. The race was a very neat and exciting way to see like minded people unite for such an amazing cause!!!

Hope to see y'all this year, September 4th 2010!"

FRTL Teen petition was also at the race!  It was amazing watching all those runners, running for lives!
