Interested in Voluntering?


By peret - Posted on 21 May 2010

Hey all -

If anyone out there is interested in using their bikes to volunteer and help out a whole different community, well here's your chance!

I run a 5K on June 13, at City Park for The Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado, and I am looking for volunteers who would like to volunteer as course marshals. It's a pretty easy gig and you get to ride your bike around the course, hanging up signs, being eyes out there for any medical problems, and generally cheering people on. You can dress up, not dress up, but definitely have fun with it.

Did you know that 47,000 people in Colorado have epilepsy? That is more than MS, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's combined! The stigma attached to epilepsy often keeps these people from telling their friends, family and becoming scared to even go out of the house. It's a great cause - help us raise awareness.

If you want more information - check out the Foundation's website www.epilepsycolorado.org and click on the 5k link on the right. Or contact Peret at peret@epilepsycolorado.org or 303.377.9774 to sign up.
