Wanna run a 5K?

Derly Ortiz is organizing a virtual 5K this weekend. You don't need to stress about where to meet or a time to run or walk--just get out and do a 5K in a show of support for Derly's hard work and her training and fundraising efforts. You'll get a cool virtual medal and a sense of Sunday satisfaction for a job well done!

Registration is $21.00 and available at: at https://www.racemenu.com/events/35291-March-Madness-Virtual-5K. All proceeds support the youth and athletic programs with the Franklin Park Coalition.

Support Boston Strong, Support a Franklin Park Runner

Meet Derly: she's just plain Goofy!

Derly Ortiz has made Boston her home for over 25 years after emigrating from the Dominican Republic.  She enjoyed volunteering last year at the Boston Marathon and has always dreamed of being able to run in the iconic event. Derly found her passion in running more than 5 years ago.  She has completed numerous half marathons and with three marathons completed, is still counting! She just upped the running ante in Disney by running the 2014 Goofy challenge.

Derly is ecstatic to be running with the Franklin Park Coalition and is looking forward to raising funds for a cause very close to her community as well her family. To support Derly’s fundraising efforts, please visit: http://www.razoo.com/story/Derly-Runs-Boston-For-Franklin-Park-Coalition
