FEENEY'S 5K Fun Run & Virtual Run

The first Feeney's Fun Run for the Feeney Legacy Project (FLP) is April 14, 2024, starting at 9:30am, as well as a Virtual Run starting March 17, 2024--walk, run, skip anywhere anyhow and any distance--just get outside.

• The live event will be timed by Elite Race Timing

• On April 14th Decatur Legacy Park will guide us through the trails that weave through the park so wear shoes that are "ok to get dirty"

• Feeney's Fun Run raises funds so the Feeney Legacy Project can pursue:
  Educating: Call 911 Immediately, Start Hands Only CPR, DO NO THINK, DO!
  Advocating the protection provided by the Good Samaritan and 911 Medical Amnesty Laws--LIFE OVER LAW

• FLP began by Kathy Feeney Armistead in memory of the son she lost April 15, 2022. Feeney's death could have been avoided had 911 been called and had CPR been started immediately when Feeney went into cardiac arrest.
