A "nifty t-shirt and backpack" aren't all you get when you sign up for the annual Run 4 A Reason event in Downtown Ferndale. There's also the warm and fuzzy feeling of helping out a slew of LGBT charities, and the fun breaking a sweat with up to 500 fellow walkers and runners.
The run starts at Affirmations Community Center on May 11 at 10:30 A.M. and has a $25 registration fee, which includes a t shirt and backpack. The run is approximately 5 miles long and people can run or walk to the finish line.
Proceeds to go to Affirmations Community Center. Ruth Ellis Center, Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion, Higher Ground, Equality Michigan, Michigan Diversity Council and the Jewish Gay Network.
The event is organized by Get Out and Live (GOAL). For more information visit their website at http://run4areason.org/.
