DONATE LIFE ORGAN DONATION AWARENESS - GEORGIA

It Will Be Epic!Oct 12, 2010

Come Run For Fun Or Competition.....It Will Be An Epic Day!

The Epic 5K Challenge, will be held on Saturday, October 16th at the Springhill Christmas Tree Farm on Woodhull Road. Pre-registration and more information is available on the 
website including Epic apparel with 100% of the proceeds going to the Dylan Reid Faircloth the First Memorial Cross Country Scholarship Fund.
Below is an open invitation from Coach Mandi O'Mara

Dylan Reid Faircloth The First
Dylan was a Team Captain on the Bainbridge High School Boys Cross Country Team. He was a contributing member of the BHS Quiz Bowl Team (and competed at the National level in Chicago his senior year). Dylan loved to write poetry and songs (and was REALLY good at it!). Last, but definitely not least, he loved Jesus. He was in the Praise Band at Fellowship Baptist Church and was an active member in their Youth Group.


Dylan was an organ donor - and his life gave life to several others that whose candles would have soon burned out without a donation. We are pleased to announce that LifeLink (the donor organization) will be at the Epic 5K Challenge as will Coach Stan "The Man" Gann and family, who received Dylan's heart.


Please join us to celebrate Dylan's life, and Have an Epic Day!
Sincerely, Coach Mandi O'Mara
More information about Dylan's gifts, Coach Stan Gann and LifeLink is here in past article.

The day was definitely an EPIC one..Thanks to all runners & supporters of this event . LifeLink's Jennifer Davis did a great job talking w/ people there & at our church the following morning ..Our teens were able to talk openly about organ donation questions & myths..then the congregation was shown an informative video & heard a heartfelt message from Ms.Davis as well..We have nicknamed her our "lifeangel"..Thanks to LifeLink for the caring, respectful manner in which they handled my precious son's organ donations & for following thru to help a grief stricken community & family cope ...June H.
