Jenny Jones

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the $25,000 award that the Jenny Jones Foundation gave to Running Free. After hearing about our running club, the dedication of the participants, and the poor running track that the club used, Jenny gave us $20,000 to re-surface the track. Thanks to Andrews Asphalt, the track was resurfaced. Additionally, Jenny gave us $5,000 to purchase new running shoes for the participants. Great Plains Running Company came out and fitted the women with the appropriate shoes for their individual needs. It was a thrilling experience to see the women receive their shoes. We are so incredibly grateful to all the folks who have helped us with this running club. For more about Jenny's involvement with our club, please see www.jennysheroes.com/heroes_20081030_suzannem.shtml
