Run For Roper 5k Run/Walk

Join us 9AM, Saturday, May 31st at Walker Ranch Historical Landmark Park for our first Run For Roper 5k Run/Walk supporting the Ashley Roper Fund!

Join us 9AM, Saturday, May 31st at Walker Ranch Park for our first Run For Roper 5k Run/Walk! There will be music, food, fun activities, and you can bring all of your friends and family too! Run For Roper is taking place to raise funds for a very loved member of the community, Ashley Roper. Ashley was a student at Churchill High School and is one in a family of six. Ashley Roper suffers from Postu

ral Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). POTS can be very debilitating and some of the symptoms include fainting, extreme fatigue, nausea, and muscle weakness. It mainly affects the hearts ability to pump blood throught your body, specifically when standing up. Because of this it can cause almost any daily task to become very dificult. Ashley is no longer able to attend school anymore, and spends a lot of time in hospitals. The hospital bills can add up fairly quickly, and all earnings of the event will go straight to the Roper family. They will then decide how it gets distributed to both Ashleys hospital bills, as well as POTS research or local charities. We're asking you to help us support the family of Ashley Roper and come out to run, walk, jog, skip, or even hop this 5k with us! Your support and participation can make a HUGE impact on a very deserving family! Event schedule and times
Parking will be limited, so additional parking will be at Embassy Movie Theaters and we will have shuttles for transportation provided by Mercedes Benz of Boerne. The race is scheduled to start at 9am but we ask you to come an hour prior for check-in and packet pick up (shirts, bibs, and additional merchandise)! There will be late registration at the event for $40.00 so bring a friend! Wear proper clothes and shoes for walking/running and bring some extra money to purchase raffle tickets, merchandise, and for our donation buckets! REGISTER AT

ATTENTION: PLEASE READ!

The picture below is a post on Instagram from Ashley earlier today.

Everyone please continue to send your prayers out to Ashley and the Roper family. I know how easy it is to forget to take moments throughout your day to stop and pray but during any down time, it doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, you can ALWAYS give up a minute out of your day to pray and right now when you finish reading this take a minute to close your eyes and put Ashley in your prayers. Pray for God to extend His healing hand over Ashley and pray for the doctors doing everything they can to help Ashley and nurse her back to health soon.
Miracles happen everyday and with God everything is possible. There is no doubt in my mind that Ashley will rise from this struggle stronger than ever and SOON!

Yes, there's something YOU can do!
Put the Roper family in your thoughts and prayers every day, SPREAD THE WORD so that other people can continue to pray and help, and follow Ashley's blog (sailingontheseaofmystery.blogspot.com) for updates and details on how else you can help and contribute.
Thank you for your time, remember that God is great and there is nothing that He can't do. AMEN
