One Week Until the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and the Grief Relief Team Ready


It is hard to believe, but we are one week out from race day! This incredible team is 34 team members strong and has already raised just over $25,000 to send grieving children to Comfort Zone Camp!!! Fundraising efforts have already raised incredible amounts of awareness of Comfort Zone to donors from 23 states across the US. On race day, more grieving families who desperately need support will discover Comfort Zone because of this team flying the flag around Disney World. The ripple effects of the awareness and funds that this team is raising are just tremendous. 

You can follow along with our team while down in Disney via this BLOG for the latest updates, photos, & videos. The 5K kicks off Friday, January 6, 2012 at 6:30am; the Half Marathon on Saturday, January 7 at 5:35am and the Full Marathon on Sunday, January 8 at 5:35am. We will be posting updates and pictures from the course all weekend long.
