Pilgrim's Progress 4 Miler - 11.26.09

A Thanksgiving Day Race and a Time to Count Your Blessings!

The Pilgrims Progress 4 miler is a time for friends, families and the community to come together in the spirit of fitness and charity to celebrate the many blessings that have been received. The 4 mile running and walking event provides not only great race amenities for participants but allows participants to "give back" to the benefit of children with Cerebral Palsy.

The Pilgrim Progress 4 Miler benefits The Luke Billings Foundation. The Luke Billings Foundation founded by Luke's parents, Todd and Wendy Billings, was established to help provide financial assistance to Central Ohio children with Cerebral Palsy to attend Euro-peds, the only hospital-based intensive therapy program in the United States. The purpose of Euro-peds is to explore new, innovative programs and services to meet the needs of these children. The intensive therapy helps children to receive and develop motor skills, including better head control, learning to roll, sit up, transfer, and take their first steps.

Why was this foundation created? Current insurance programs only cover a fraction of the treatment and therapy for Cerebral Palsy. Most programs and charitable fundraising organizations are dedicated to research into the disabling condition. Although research is much needed, very few organizations focus on the actual treatment of children with Cerebral Palsy. The average cost for one child to participate in a two to three week therapy program is $5,000.

You can help to support these children and their families by participating in the event - a set amount of each entry fee plus a percentage of the event proceeds will be set aside and contributed to The Luke Billings Foundation.
