As many of you know, the THON 5k will take place this weekend. It is one of the major fundraising events leading up to THON and everyone comes out to either run or walk the 5K and have a great time doing it.
There will be a kids race first, and then the competitive run and the fun run will start afterwards. It is a great way to show your support and get to know all of the people involved, as well as some of the THON families.
Within the past week, I have seen so many flyers and posters urging people to support this event, and this one definitely stuck with me. Although it may just be because I love little kids.
The official THON Facebook page posted this the other day along with the hashtag #runwithus. I think it is amazing how much such a huge event like THON uses social media to get their mission out there.
I have a lot of friends who are involved in THON in some way, and all of them have posted statuses recently spreading the word about the 5K, but also about THON in general. It makes me wonder, what would THON be if it weren’t for all of the social media that is available to us 24/7.
Social media can be used for anything. However, I appreciate the fact that the people involved in THON have found a way to use it to their advantage and to benefit a good cause.
#runwithus FTK!
