From the Organizer
Please join us and wear red as we come together to remember Edder and support his family.
At 1:50AM on Sunday November 2nd, the Normal Fire Department bravely responded to a house fire. The impact of that morning has been felt across our community, and specifically at Parkside Junior High School where Edder just completed his Cross Country running season.
On Saturday November 22nd we invite the Community to gather at Maxwell Park for this 3 Mile Run/Walk to benefit and remember Edder and honor his family. All proceeds will go to Edder's Family as they work through this unimaginable tragedy. The 3 Mile Run/Walk kicks off at 9AM.
The entry fee has been kept low to encourage the community to attend and show support. Donations are encouraged and accepted.
