The 3rd Annual C.A.R.E. 5K & 10K Run and Walk for Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Awareness promises to be the biggest and best ever. Bring the family and friends for a morning of fun to support organ, eye and tissue donation awareness. Over 500 runners and walkers participated in last year's run and walk. The nice and flat course flows through the beautiful streets of Waukee, Iowa.

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, join hundreds of individuals in one of the fastest growing and most inspiring run and walks in Iowa to spread awareness about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation by commemorating the lives of organ, eye and tissue donors, celebrating the lives of organ, eye and tissue recipients, and recognizing the lives of those waiting for a lifesaving transplant!

Whether you run, walk, wheel, volunteer, cheer or make a charitable donation, it's a great way to support this life-changing cause.

C.A.R.E. is an acronym for Compassion for Awareness, Remembrance, and Education.

My Angel Foundation would like to call your attention to a project we will be doing again this year. The foundation invites all walkers/runners to participate in a GIFT OF LIFE SCRAPBOOK. This scrapbook will contain the stories behind why you are participating in the C.A.R.E. 5k & 10k Run and Walk and why you support organ, eye and tissue donation. Who you are walking/running for?

We invite every individual and/or team to make either an 8.5x11 or 12x12 scrapbook page. This is a small step to make a big difference! It can be very simple with a picture and story of why you are walking/running or more complex if you are an experienced scrapbooker.

"I just wanted to let you know that I thought the race went great! And the number of people there - WOW! It is such a healing, yet fun day for our family. Brian was quite competitive and LOVED running so being able to get out and enjoy getting together with friends and family as well as throwing in some physical activity is a perfect way to remember and celebrate him. Thank you for all your hard work. I think the race was a great success and a wonderful experience for everyone involved!" -- Megan G.

"What a beautiful day it was on May 2nd, 2009! The race, I felt, was a huge success. The amazing weather, the love and support of the participants, the cause, the turnout, the organization of the race, the great route, the fun kid races, and all the volunteers made for an absolutely perfect day!!! Thank you for bringing awareness to organ and tissue donation through this race, I am so lucky to have been a part of it." -- Amy O.

"Thank you for a great walk last Saturday. Everything was very well organized and we very much enjoyed the day." -- Peg F.

"Thank you for organizing a wonderful event, I had a wonderful time participating in the CARE race yesterday. You are doing a great job bringing together individuals who understand the fragility of life through the death of a loved one, or the gift of organs. For me personally, it was a good feeling to be able to run a 10K for my late boyfriend. I know he was cheering for me the whole time, filling me with strength. Having never run a 10K before I definitely did better than I had anticipated! Again, thank you." -- Jess S.
