The Berry Family 5K, 1M Family Fun Run and 50 yard dash will be held on March 24, 2012 at Granite Park in Plano, TX. 100% of the proceeds, less costs to vendors to operate the race, will be donated directly to the Joshua and Robin Berry Children's Trust in Houston, TX.

On July 3rd, 2011, while returning from an annual family road trip in Colorado back to their home in Houston, Texas, the Berry Family found themselves victims of a horrific and tragic fatal car accident. Their minivan, carrying parents Joshua and Robin Berry and their children Peter age 9, Aaron age 8, and Willa age 6, was hit head on by another vehicle that had crossed into their lane of traffic. The parents, Joshua and Robin Berry, were tragically killed leaving their 3 children behind. While the children did survive the crash, both boys sustained serious spinal cord injuries and they are both paralyzed below the waist.

There is a significant need to raise funds to aid the children's ongoing needs, including medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, psychological support and education.
We expect to field 1,000 spirited competitors, walkers and everything in between - all there to support the Berry Children. The race will be directed and administered by Racing Systems, a division of Run On! This will be a professionally operated event in a great location. We want you to be part of the success! Please come out and support the Berry Children.
