Mark the Great Memorial Run

Golden Eagles --
This is something that we all can be a part of and make a real difference. We would encourage you all to run in this race. May God Bless Mark's family.

A 5K run has been planned to help a local family of eight who suddenly lost their father recently. The Mark the Great Benefit 5K and Kids Run will be held Aug. 1 to pay tribute to Mark Richardson and support his family.Mark was a resident of Salem who passed away suddenly June 30 at age 44 after a heart attack.

Runners and walkers can download a registration form from Mark’s Web site online, www.rememberingmarkthegreat.blogspot.com/2009/07/pictures.html or sign up at www.runnercard.com.

“Mark was someone who could make you feel accepted and have you laughing within seconds of meeting him” says Susan Chapman, Mark’s younger sister. “We are organizing this run to remember him in a fun loving way, and all the proceeds go to his family.”Mark has six children, four of whom still live at home.

The event will be at the Benjamin Park, 7300 S. 3200 West, Spanish Fork, starting at 8 a.m.
