Frozen Rails re-Cap ~ Blog 365

 

It's late evening as I've been working the Frozen Rails 5K & 10K race event....I posted a NY day post , you can read it here--->A Runners Mom & More: New Year New BLOG 365 

402 runners Braved the Brisk temps, off & on almost Snow, and Breeze for the 7th annual Frozen Rails event. Proceeds benefitted the Midway Ministerial Association.

Paster Heather McColl with Bob my RaceRise partner.

 The proceeds from the race will go towards Midway Ministerial Association, a collaborative effort involving 7 Midway area churches (Midway Christian Church, Midway Baptist Church, Midway Presbyterian Church, St. Matthew’s AME Church, Midway United Methodist Church, Historic Second Christian Church, and Pilgrim Baptist Church) who provide support and funding for those in need in their community. The Midway Ministerial Association gathers for community worship services: Thanksgiving, MLK, Ash Wednesday, Easter Sunrise Service, and a service of Peace and hope in September on or near the anniversary of September 11.  During these worship services, an offering is taken up that goes to support a fund within our community. The fund goes to help people in emergencies with rent and utility payments. This past Thanksgiving, at the Community Thanksgiving service, the offering was used to provide 10 Thanksgiving boxes for families at our local elementary school, Northside Elementary.  

Enjoy a few of my favorite photos from the race....
