" Who's Mark Jeanes' Running Buddy" As you may know Mark is a student at Willow Springs Elementary School where Mark participated in the Gold Medal Mile. Mark felt bad for his friend Alex who running alone, was struggling and needed encouragement. Mark Jeanes instead of going for Gold, instead went back and ran with his buddy Alex.

Mow it's Mark's Turn for buddies as he faces huge challenges in a long road of certain obstacles to finish his race to come back home. Thanks to the kindness of Mark's school friends, teachers and principle, there will be the Buddy Run at Willow Springs on January 25th to raise funds for his expenses and to hopefully find a cure for his illness. It's called, "Mark's Buddy Charity Run." They are asking that you collect donations for this event and either bring them to the school or donate to the Mark Jeanes Charitable Account @ America First Credit Union, by Friday, January 22nd and then join the school team at the school on January 25th. What a great opportunity to come together in a community and support this cause and to lift the banner of charity high for all to see.

Thanks to all of Mark's buddies,

Ken Crocheron
