Megan's Wings

| |
Saturday Sept. 27 will be the fourth annual Megan Savage Memorial Run for a Cure held by the Megan's Wings Foundation.

The event will take place in McCarthy Park at 7 a.m.

The event will start off with a 1K kid's fun run and will be followed by a 5K run/walk. A local band called Johnny Come Lately will be performing, complimentary breakfast will be served and a silent auction will take place.

Participants are encouraged to put their thumbprints, dipped in paint, in the shape of butterflies on the "Megan's Wings of Hope" banner, which will be taken to the Children's Oncology Clinic afterward for all the children receiving medical care to see the love and support they have in the community.

What really makes this event special is the live butterfly release set to take place near the end of the event. Each guest can purchase a live butterfly for $5 to set free with the other guests.

Megan's Wings Foundation was founded by Kim and Dave Savage after they lost their 9 year-old daughter, Megan, to Leukemia on April 2, 2003. The foundation provides support for families and children who are dealing with this disease.

To register go online to www.meganswings.org or contact the foundation at (909) 608-9152.
