Good Karma 5K Run

As I was trying to re-evaluate and grasp what our mission is as a group, I was relieved to come across this article in the Catholic News Agency that supports what our group wanted to do from day one. We wanted to grow in our Catholic faith by helping others through community service.

Cardinal Robert Sarah said, “Catholics engaged in charitable work, are the presence of God. We are the expression of the love of God, the compassion of God.” So as it may seem that we are gathering together socially to help others, we are in fact growing together to share God’s love. This is the link to the article.

Our next community service event is a 5K run fundraiser with Good Karma. You choose where your proceeds will benefit among 10 local nonprofit charities. They include The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Northwest Harvest, People for Puget Sound, Arts Fund, Lifelong AIDS Society, Solid Ground, Seattle Humane Society, and USO-Puget Sound. I know, there are so many great charities to choose from! I've signed up and I am supporting Seattle Children’s Hospital.

The run or walk takes place at beautiful Seward Park in Seattle on Sunday, May 27^th at 9 AM. This will be our 2^nd time participating in this fun, low-key event. Bring your family!

They offered us a group discount of $5 off per person if you wish to use it. The code for the coupon is RT12GK and our club name is Connect with St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Please go to their website to register or for more information.

This is also a great way to promote a healthy, active lifestyle. So start training or exercising now…you still have plenty of time! It’s never too late to start. Remember the American Heart Association encourages a goal of 30 minutes of exercise, 5 times a week. Oh, here I go…my ultimate goal for everyone is to improve our quality of life spiritually, physically and mentally. =) I would love for us to do this together!
