Friday, October 9, 6:00pm: Packet Pick-Up
We met about half of our participants at packet pick-up! There, participants could get their bibs, raffle tickets, and shirts. We also had the help of the Janeway family. Packet pick-up was held at the LDS Stake Church at 3661 Brooke Street in Forest Grove.
Saturday, October 10, 9:00am: Day-Of Registration and Packet Pick-Up
Those who didn't make it out to packet pick-up were able to gather their Friends of Jordan Run & Walk supplies the morning of. We also had fourteen people register for the event on Saturday morning. Thank you for those new registrants and thank you to our amazing volunteers who kept that table under wraps! Between 9:00 and 9:45, participants also could look over the Be the Match and Forest Hills Lutheran Christian School booths. We even had three people sign up to be part of the bone marrow registry! If you are between the ages of 18 and 44 and would like to help save a life, you can sign up for the registry here. Be the Match supplied the marrow donor that saved Dalton's life; don't you want to save a life?

The kids' run was an adorable success. Approximately ten kids lined up at the start of the 100m race and ran their hearts out to the other end. Marshall and Dalton crossed together, showcasing the true Friends of Jordan spirit.
