The second annual Run with Porter 2010 is an eco-friendly 5 km and 10 km run/walk held Sunday, June 6th at beautiful Birds Hill Park. Beginning with a sunrise yoga and kids 100-meter dash, and ending with a delicious organic breakfast, RWP encourages others to gather together in nature while also protecting it.

Our son Porter Francis, who bravely battled a rare immunodeficiency disease, taught us all the importance of celebrating love, life, and nature. Although only a baby when he passed, his spirit created a strong sense of community that was shared among the many participants of last year's inaugural event.

The RWP 2010 proceeds will support the newly developed Run with Porter Seedling Foundation providing financial assistance for Manitoban charities that connect children with nature. This year's recipient is Winnipeg Harvest's new Blue Box Gardens program teaching inner-city youth the connectivity between earth and food and community.

Whether you are an athlete seeking a beautiful environment to run, an individual choosing to participate in a worthy cause, a parent wanting to share a morning with your child, or someone simply hoping to honour the love of another, please consider joining us for this memorable event.
