ING  Race for Mission
Marathon
Bishop Park will
be doing his 5K run on Saturday,
October 10, in Bushnell Park, Hartford, at
8:00am in connection with the ING Hartford
Marathon and Half Marathon and the Bishop's
Partners in Mission. His own passion for
mission leads him to run this race and
he has pledged to dedicate the first $5,000
raised by running to PET (Personal Energy
Transport) International. Your support is
always appreciated. So if you haven't
contributed to the Bishop's Partners in Mission
already, could you possibly do so now?
Even $5 or $10 will make a difference. Of
course, he'd also love your company in the race
for this great cause. Click here for more information,
including links for registration, related events
and donations.>>
