5k Fundraiser for my father-in-law

I have started organizing a fundraiser for my father in law...to help  raise money for a lung transplant. Our fundraiser will take place on September 21, 2013, in Highland Utah.   A little about my father-in-law  he was Diagnosed with IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis) April 2010.  There is no known cause, treatment, or cure. He was stable for three years.  However, in the spring of 2013 his condition began to deteriorate rapidly.  He is on increased oxygen and it's difficult for him to breathe much of the time. He also has severe coughing/choking attacks.  His pulmonologist recommends a lung transplant to save his life. Just recently he has signed the consent form and is in the process of having extensive tests to determine where he will be on the transplant list. If anyone is interested in donating or even coming to run the race here is more information on how you can help!
