From the Organizer
The Red Banks 5K Run/Walk will be held Saturday morning, October 24 @ 8:00am. This race is to benefit the North Mississippi chapter of Joni and Friends. Joni Eareckson Tada writes,
“When a diving accident in 1967 shattered my dreams, I became a depressed and frightened teenager facing a lifetime of quadriplegia. I couldn’t imagine how God would use my life to bring hope through hardship to suffering people around the world. But, as I learned, God sometimes permits what he hates to accomplish what he loves…”
