Jog ‘N Serve April 21

In the land of colorful, supertastic, muddy and glowing fun runs there is a new kid on the block that is serving up a dose of feel good community service combined with a little jogging!

MOTIF8_logo1Jog ‘N Serve, a community service driven fun run is just one of many upcoming events that will be launched by Motif8.  Motif8 is a new community organization that connects like-minded people who seek to prioritize fitness, fellowship, and faith. Motif8 currently is in the beta phase with big plans to launch a website and continue to grow it’s local community through monthly events.

Out of all the hundreds of events that pass through my desk each day I was really intrigued by this concept because it plays on the growing trend of fun runs but mainly aims to help the community.

The Motif8 crew will meet joggers at SafeHouse Outreach @ 10am on 4/21 to build some incredible PB&J and non-grilled cheese sandwiches. Around 11am, they will embark on a jogging journey in downtown Atlanta connecting and serving those that need it.  They have a planned route and anticipate wrapping up around 1pm, with a group lunch right after to refuel and connect.

2 OPTIONS FOR TICKETS:
• $5 gets you registered for the event and helps with paying for food, materials, and SafeHouse Outreach donation.
• $15 gets you a MOTIF8 t-shirt on top of that so you can jog with support ‘n style.

About Wendy…Wendy Carol Lipman was born December 18, 1970 and passed away January 2, 1971.  She died from complications of cystic fibrosis.  Back then, there weren’t many treatments for cystic fibrosis.  Thanks to events like A Wish for Wendy, donations are leading to treatments and are moving us even closer to a cure.  A Wish for Wendy is done in memory of my sister and our wish for Wendy is that people with cystic fibrosis no longer have to struggle with this disease.  Wendy’s memory will some day lead to a cure.
