A Huge Success!

Mississippi's Run for the Fallen was an enormous success!  Over 300 people showed up to display their support for our soldiers and their families.  Opening comments were followed by a prayer from Danny Miller.  Kim McCoy told the crowd what made her feel compelled to organize the event.  The JROTC from Brandon High School joined members of the Brandon High School Band for a patriotic ceremony that none will forget.  As the first horn blew, the emotion was overwhelming to see tons of people take off up the hill while patriotic tunes blasted from the speakers.  

Many achieved their goals.  Some runners said that it was the easiest run they have ever done, and some walkers said that they went further than ever.  Maybe that was because they were doing it all for someone else. We were all so privileged to be a part of that great day.  Over $3500 was raised and Mississippians logged 646 miles. Mississippi's Run for the Fallen will be back in 2012.  Make sure you are a part of it!
