Such a beautiful day at the Christina Latini Memorial 8K! There are not many mornings where you can run a race with hundreds of F3 guys AND tie that to great purpose. We did both as Operation Sweet Tooth, Speed for Need, and Run for Holland all came together for the common cause of not only getting Nick and Holland to the finish line of the 8K abut also remembering an awesome member of our F3 family, Christina “Sweet Tooth” Latini.

Please check out Operation Sweet Tooth to learn more about how you can help “turn pain into purpose” and Run for Holland as we try to raise awareness for down syndrome. #WhoPushesWho

”If Luka his kicking his legs, he is happy and having fun.” – F3 Vuvuzela

All it takes is a couple simple instructions from parents for a race, like the above, to lay out the expectations for Speed for Need drivers. That was enough for F3 Pizza Man and the pax from F3 Gastonia to know that they were crushing the Community Foundation Run on April 14th. Track Commanders Luka & James were kicking and waving their arms and legs the entire race. Congratulations Luka & James, we are so proud of you! Check out the full backblast here and don’t miss this AWESOME video recap!

Speed for Need, Inc traveled back to familiar territory this past weekend to run the Harrisburg 5K with the men of F3 MECA. This was F3 MECA’s first event of 2018, and our two Track Commanders made certain it was a memorable one. In the RED chair rode F3 Cassius (aka Caedon Baute), pushed by his dad F3 Gapper of the Harrisburg pax. And in the BLUE chair rode F3 The King (aka Ben Johnson) pushed by his friend F3 Anvil of the Concord/Kannon pax.

The Go Jen Go Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to local individuals and families who are battling breast cancer. We provide aid during diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Go Jen Go allows families to focus on the fight, not the finances. Please consider supporting this wonderful foundation by donating directly to their cause!

Board members, Kevin (F3 JRR Tolkien – kevin@speedforneed.org) & Jon (F3 Don Ho – jon@speedforneed.org), jumped on the F3 Roundtable call to discuss the Speed for Need, Inc. 2018 Q1 update. They recapped the inaugural 2017 season and provided a thorough update on the steps F3 event Qs can take in order to bring Speed for Need, Inc. to their region in 2018. Speed for Need, Inc. is honored to be given the chance to speak to F3 Nation in an effort to further our mission of raising awareness and fostering inclusion of those with special needs.
