The Sparkle Run

The Sparkle Run Erin Moomey is the inspiration behind The Sparkle Run. She was a daughter, sister, granddaughter, cousin and a friend to everyone. She was one awesome kid!

The Sparkle Run is family-friendly 5k and kids fun run that raises funds to support organizations that support families of children with life-altering illnesses. She was thoughtful, funny, caring and had a beautiful smile. She was a 5th grade student, a dancer, and played both soccer and basketball. She loved her dog, Molly and her goldfish, Chloe. Erin was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 10

years old. She never complained or asked why me. She also never lost her sense of humor or her passion to live life. She passed away on October 29, 2013 and is missed beyond words. The Sparkle Run was organized in 2014 as an event where funds can be raised and given back to those affected by childhood cancer within our community. We want to make a difference in the lives of others in order to honor Erin.

Who's ready to run? Or walk? Or cheer on the runners and walkers?
We are!

We have tried twice to send an email to all participants through the registration site and are encountering difficulties. Hopefully that will be resolved today, and we will get an email out to you, but even if we can't, here is everything you need to know!

The event is tomorrow, Sunday, May 3, at the DMACC-Ankeny campus. Shirt/packet pick-up starts at 1pm which is different from past years. If you need to pick up your shirt early or will not be able to pick it up at the run, please contact us to arrange a time to get it.

The event takes place on the east end of Parking Lot L. You will see our tents and big orange arch. Please park wherever you like and walk on over to get your shirts. We will also have gourmet cupcakes, Sparkle Run merch, some of the silent auction items as well as some therapy dogs!

We will have water and snacks at the end of the run. There will NOT be water on the course. Please plan to carry your own water if you think you will need it during the run.

The weather looks to be great tomorrow! Remember to wear sunscreen!
