2011 Tommy's Run For a Reason

Join the 3rd Annual Tommy's Run For a Reason at Algonkian Regional Park in Sterling, VA. The whole family will enjoy a 5K Run or 2K Family Fitness Walk, fun kids' activities, raffle, a silent auction, music and a catered BBQ lunch! Events and registration begin at 9:00 am.

The event is honor of Thomas Andrew Marshall. Tommy was a healthy, happy, thriving 2-year-old toddler who passed away unexpectedly in May 2008. His parents were given no real explanation as to what took their son's life. All proceeds will benefit the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) Program, a cousin of SIDS that affects children after their first birthday.

The SUDC Program is part of the CJ Foundation for SIDS, a national non-profit organization leading the fight against SIDS and SUDC.
