Who likes getting up at 6am to set up for a 5k? No one.

Who's ideal saturday consists of pulling out and putting up tables, chairs, t-shirts and snacks? No one's.

Who likes to continuously ask others for donations of money, time and energy? Not me.

Who wants to stand out in the scorching sun watching others run? No one.

Who enjoys sharp pains in their joints, ankles, fingers, muscles and wrist? No one.

Who wants to undergo numerous hip replacements, surgeries and therapies? No one.

Who has $3,000 dollars to burn a month for treatments? Not I.

What I do have is a heart for giving. I think of my Grandmother, My sister Piper or even the mothers of young girls who reach out to my chapter to say: "You are making a difference", "We appreciate all that you do", it reminds me that i'm doing the right thing.

For those who don't know, I'm a sister of Alpha Omicron Pi and our National philanthropy is Arthritis and chapters all around the world partner with The Arthritis Foundation to work towards finding a cure.

Each year my chapter here at UAH Delta Tau, holds a 5k: Run For Roses.

This event may not seem like much to you but every dollar counts and every day another 1 in every 5 adults and 300,000 children and countless families are affected by one of the 100 types of Arthritis. You can help us make a difference.

Run For Roses will be a color run this year, everyone loves a color run. The run will be held November 12th at 8am, on uah Fraternity and Sorority row. if you sign up now, the run and a T-shirt (guaranteed) will be $25. You have until the day before the run to decide if you'd like to take that challenge.

Please don't think that the run is the only way to contribute! You can purchase a T-shirt for $20 or make a donation of your choice. If you're willing and able you may even sponsor a sister for $100 which gets your name on our banner at the run and your own endorsement on our facebook page.

Remember that Arthritis is the number one disability in the nation, affecting over 8.4 million people. Last year Delta Tau raised 7,000 and this year we have a goal of 8,500, help us exceed the expectation and change lives.

When (not if) you sign up before October 24th, don't forget to let them know which sister encouraged you to be the change you wish to see.
