Fitness Mastermind will be participating & helping with this benefit/event that truly does need your participation as well. The benefit 5K and Fun Run for a colleague of ours has a close friend of whom their 5-year old daughter, who was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Jaylie is currently undergoing radiation 5 days a week and chemotherapy once a week. As you can imagine, this is taking a major toll on Jaylie and her family, so they are doing this event in hopes of supporting them emotionally and financially.
Go to www.teamjaylie.org, where you can watch a brief video about Jaylie and her journey so far.
The Team Jaylie 5K and Fun Run will be held on August 13th at the Southwest Williamson County Regional Park. As well as sponsors for the event, they are in need of gift cards or gift certificates to give away during the fundraising raffle that will be going on during the event. And of course, they would also love for you and friends/family/co-workers to come out and run to support Jaylie.
Performing at the event will be Haeley Vaughn, one of the top 10 girls from American Idol: Season 9. This event is going to be huge, and won't just be a 5K and Fun Run, but also a celebration of Jaylie with lots of activities for families. The activities will include a DJ, live music, face painting, mammal and reptile petting booths and more!

Volunteers still needed!
As far as being involved with the event, they are definitely in need of volunteers. We need people help guide the runners on the course by moving cones because the runners will be turning different directions depending on what lap they're on. They also are looking for someone on a bike to "lead" the course in front of the fastest runner, so if you have someone who might like to do that contact the event coordinator (details listed below)! They will also have race day registration, packet pickup and chip pickup the day of the race, most of those positions are already taken care of, but they can always use more volunteers :)
