Jeremy's Run...You'll be Inspired!

I registered for my 5K to attain a goal of health and fitness for myself, but was also very moved by the family's story who will hold this race for the fourth time this Memorial Day in honor of their son and brother, Jeremy Glass.

This race is in memory of Jeremy Daniel Glass, who at the age of 20, died of complications due to drug addiction. Jeremy was a very kind, intelligent, passionate and sensitive person, much loved by his family and friends. He fought what was ultimately a losing battle against a terrible disease that afflicts so many. This race is dedicated to both his memory and to the memory of all who have perished from this tragic illness.

Jeremy's Run is an annual Walk/Run to benefit The Partnership at Drugfree.org, the Kolmac Foundation, and The Family Support Center's school program "Dying to Get High." It will be held on Monday, May 28th, and I am proud to be supporting this cause.

The Glass family story is a powerful one that we all need to remember. Addiction is a disease, and not something for which to be ashamed. In an effort that all children and people who battle with addiction be given the attention and help they need, the Glass family holds this event to raise funds and awareness.
