Joshua Newman was a much loved sixth grader at Fox Mill Elementary who sadly passed away November 20, 2010, from SUDEP, (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy).
The Third Annual Joshua Newman Memorial 5K Walk/Run will be held to celebrate the short but exuberant and gregarious life of our dear friend, Josh. This neighborhood walk and run will focus on family, community and a celebration of Joshua’s life.
Josh is remembered for being a wonderful and kind neighbor, friend, and classmate. This event is to raise awareness of Epilepsy and SUDEP as well as to remember, honor and celebrate Josh who“Never Knew a Stranger”.
To keep with the spirit of being inclusive for the entire family, this race is non-competitive and fun, fun, fun!
T shirt pickup will be held on Friday, November 28th from 5:00-7:00 PM at Pinecrest Pool Parking Lot.
All proceeds will benefit the Danny Did Foundation.
Danny Did Foundation works toward its mission to prevent deaths caused by seizures with two main goals in mind: (1) advancing awareness of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) and enhancing the SUDEP communication model between medical professionals and those afflicted by seizures, and (2) the mainstreaming of seizure detection and prediction devices that may assist in preventing deaths caused by seizures.
Danny Did is a not-for-profit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
We look forward to seeing you at the race!
