Calling all runners/walkers for a charity 5k fundraiser to benefit medical research

Twin sisters, Caroline & Emily Harris, high school seniors, are co chairing a 5k fundraiser at the Colts Neck High School on Saturday, October 12th to benefit research for a very rare disease called, Eosinophilic Gastritis. 
Since Caroline has been diagnosed with this painful illness, the twin sisters have decided to be proactive and to raise funds for researching this disease. They have located a designated research center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital where limited research has begun trying to find a cure for EG. The sisters hope that they can "crank up" the level of research with their donation!!  
There will be live music, food and local vendors to make this 5k event a family fun day. 
And here's the good news... "you" can make a difference in finding the cure by going to their website and registering to participate.
