Record numbers participate in Run For Jon

The 20th Annual Run For Jon on August 28th was a tremendous success with some 300 participants and $5,700 raised to support families with medical emergencies.  Forrence’s orchard with its apples ready for harvest was a beautiful setting. Don and Shirley Evans expressed their thanks to everyone who played a role in the run’s success. Shirley said, “As always we had tremendous help and support from family, friends and neighbors – what we call The Run For Jon Family.”  Don and Shirley’s daughter Johanna surprised her parents when she flew in from South Carolina. (See attached photos taken by Jaimie Devan Dowler). Mark Elmore returned to Peru for the run.  Elmore and Scott Woodward organized the first run to assist the Evans family with expenses they were incurring caring for their thirteen old son Jon who was battling cancer. When Jon passed away the Evans family and friends continued the run to memorize Jon and to give the event’s proceeds to families facing medical problems. Over the years about $50,000 has been raised with more than one-half of the amount distributed to local families. Read more »
