I would totally do that. I would fly to LA to do a 5Krav for ita's charity.
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.
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!
You'd probably have to get some kind of permission from the krav folks, though. And honestly, insurance for an event where people are punching and kicking things would probably be ridiculous.
Permission? Why?
