So Cal Ragnar Relay Race - April 4-5, 2014
MEET TEAM SPARKLE - ULTRA RAGNAR RELAY TEAM FOR GP2C
Not only is Team Sparkle an amazing
group of dedicated women returning to defend their ultra women victory last
year, but Team Sparkle has taken this opportunity to run not for themselves,
not for the glory of victory, but for girls with Rett Syndrome — girls who cannot run at all.
Team member Allison Foley says, "Rett
Syndrome affects my 10-year-old daughter Emma, and I can speak first hand about
the devastation of this neurological disorder that has stolen Emma’s
independence. But what Rett Syndrome
cannot steal from Emma or any of the girls it affects, is their courage,
bravery, strength, determination and hope—traits that we believe are
characteristic of our team and of this great race."
The team is sponsored by Sparkle Athletic, (a company inspiring athletes through the power of sparkle), will be running the entire race in pink & purple Sparkle Athletic skirts and superhero capes in honor of Girl Power 2Cure and their superheroes—girls, like Emma, affected by Rett Syndrome. Each mile will be dedicated to a girl suffering from this devastating disorder. Funds raised will be donated to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust.
