Superheroes. Face painting. Food. Friends. Community. Music. Awareness.
That means Rowe's Research Runners is READY to Roll!
Dysautonomia Awareness Month is here!
I am inviting all of my friends to REGISTER NOW to join us on October 20th for our 2nd Annual Walk/Run/Roll and Reception.
**To guarantee a shirt you must register by October 4**

Registration is $20 and includes your t-shirt (which I will post about tomorrow).
Children under 12 are FREE!
A fundraising goal of $100 is suggested. Please consider posting that you are attending and raising money and see what you can raise. Every dollar truly does count.

| Oh! There Goes Dad! |
Last year's event was such an amazing success--beyond anything I could have imagined. As a team RRR raised over $20,000 towards research, and our local event connected many people living with these illnesses as well as raised awareness.
That lead to my desire to make this year's event bigger and try to reach more people.
 |
| Raffle! |
The raffle items from Dragonfly Therapeutic Massage and Day Spa, Happy Valley Improv and Brenda Horner Artworks are amazing! Bring some extra cash so you can win!
 |
| Food! |
We will, of course, have food, including our signature cupcakes with blue frosting.
 |
| Dogs! |
Dogs are welcome!
Why? Because our pets are such an important part of the chronic illness experience.
A band called Sauce (a group of Bellefonte High School seniors) will be playing.
We're keeping the music chill so that people with these illnesses will not be too overstimulated by the sound.
Why music?
Because it, too, is an important part of living with and coping with chronic illness.
 |
| New Friends also Living with these Illnesses |
Other people with these illnesses will be there for you to meet.
 |
| #friends |
And other friends you know will be there.

And of course, there will be the Alliance of Heroic Hearts to remind us all that we are superheroes!
There will be face-painting and kids toys too!
 |
| #dadandabbie |
The event is ready to go.
(You've wondered where I've been, right? Planning this!)
All that we need is for you to be there or be square.

Let's #goblue #runforrowe and have some fun!
While these may be serious illnesses, this promises to be an uplifting and fun event.
Remember:
Superheroes. Face painting. Food. Friends. Community. Music. Awareness.
See you there!

Onward and Upward,
