Run for Jon Brings People Together for a Great Cause

Peru – The 21st Annual Run for Jon took place today at Forrence’s Mannix Road Orchard. Here are photos of a few of the kind people who are participating. The Run for Jon is an annual race to raise money for the families of local children with serious medical problems and honor the memory of Jon Evans.
Quotes from the Ron for Jon Facebook page – “In 1990, 13-year-old Jon Evans was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Soon after his diagnosis, two long-time friends of the Evans family, Mark Elmore, and Scott Woodward organized the first Run for Jon to raise money to help pay for expenses.”
“Just two weeks before the 2nd Run, Jon passed away. Every year since then, family and friends have held the Run for Jon to raise money for the families of local children with serious medical problems.”
