Tomorrow is the most visible element of the The "I Love U Guys" Foundation with Emily's Parade, but there's so much that they do every other day of the year. If you haven't read about their efforts to improve school safety across the country, please find out more - we endorse their work and enthusiastically recommend supporting them! About Us:

Everyone have a safe ride and run tomorrow! If you are down at Platte Canyon High School, stop by the 285 Tourism booth and say hi!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I'm glad to hear you saw some - one of my other friends who came said he didn't see as many as usual. There were a ton at PCHS, and I have to say it was a very well-organized event! It was sunny for most of the morning, then the clouds rolled in and it got chilly. It started raining sometime between 1:30-2pm, and that cleared most people out (a few hardy souls hung out under the canopies with us for a while longer).
Great day, lots of familiar faces!
Over 100 people ran, including a few of the original first responders.
Even the pooches get all dolled up.
Volunteers waiting for the ER:5K race to start.
All of us nonprofits
This was early - the line eventually went all the way across the field!

treasured.
