That sounds like total fun!
'Same Time, Same Place'
ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
I would do a 5Krav! I would do the HELL out of it!
The finisher medal would be pink gingham, of course. Or the medal would be an appropriate symbol, but on a pink gingham ribbon.
I would totally do that. I would fly to LA to do a 5Krav for ita's charity.
If this happens, I am so there.
It's a lovely idea, but my experience with races is that they are massive undertakings. If you're serious, consider contacting A Runner's Circle, a local running shop. They've partnered with other nonprofits and have a good sense of what it takes to put one together.
We do a 5K every year for a trout restoration org that has, at tops, 50 participants. I always come in dead last! It's awesome and idiosyncratic and I imagine ita's 5Krav could be the same.
LA is a huge running town. I've never been to a race with fewer than 500. But I'm all in if we could make it work. I know my running team would participate and fundraise.
I would NEVER do something like this without the backing of ita's family and the Buffistas. Never.
But if we want to make it happen, I will make it happen.
I would absolutely help from afar.
That idea of an ita memorial 5krav run is awesome!
