With your contributions, the team has now purchased 4 chariots, a tent, a trailer, and Medals for the participants.
It is now time to bring this great program to South Charlotte. We will be supporting the Isabella Santos run by setting up a tent to raise awareness and racing with kids in the custom chairs. This is a very worthy cause that support research to cure childhood cancer. You can read about it here https://isabellasantosfoundation.org/about/
This organization was started by Isabella’s parents with the hope that they could raise the money and awareness to save their little girl. While Isabella fought hard relapse after relapse she was not able to beat this disease, but with the help of this organization and our support we can help other children live her dream of a world “With no more cancer.” So sign up with your M’s, 2.0’s and friends.

Great work Fire Hazard and Buckeye, way to step up and lead this race!
GUYS, This is South Charlotte’s inaugural SPEED FOR NEED event, and the 10th anniversary of the Isabella Santos Race where there will be 1000+ runners. Please make plans to represent F3 whether as a racer or a supporter at this race and show the community who we are and what we’re about. It doesn’t matter what pace you run, faster, slower, with the racing chair, just show up and support before and after. Let Buckeye, Fire Hazard, or myself know if you have questions or want to get involved.
