About the Event

What's YOUR passion? Here's your invitation to follow Shelley's and MANY others in this community!

 

Join the community and me the morning of April 25th at Millennium Park for three exciting events: a 5K Fun Run a 2-Mile Walk or a 1-mile Dog and Kid Run! Come "Chase the Energizer BUNNY" while raising funds for WGVU Public Media.

 

A Message from Shelley: "MY passion IS movement and having this opportunity to set goals and "chase" them when it comes to fitness. Blessed with "energizing bunny energy" for both my work at WGVU and for my fitness, I am thrilled to invite YOU to get involved through a sponsorship or attendance! Just say YES! (like Shelley!)"
