Ade's Birthday Celebration 5 miles at 5 AM

If you were lucky enough to meet or spend even a minute with Ade you know how truly special he was.  Ade lost his battle with cancer in June but his legacy, kindness and spirit for life continues to live on.  Ade was famous for his early, EARLY morning workouts even as he was going through treatment so for his birthday this year I wanted to honor him and celebrate his birthday by running 5 miles at 5 AM to raise money that will go directly to the Ade Ayodele Memorial fund which is closing in on it's goal to create a two year research fund in his honor!  Help me run a little faster and celebrate an amazing life while raising money for cancer research.  Thank you in advance for your donation!  To learn more about Ade's life and impact visit his Memorial Fund page here-->> http://jimmyv.convio.net/site/TR?px=1751705&fr_id=1560&pg=personal
