On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Huron Hills Church will host its 7th Annual Endurance 5K Run and Walk at Gallup Park. As you may know, the Endurance 5K is not only an invigorating run at a gorgeous park, but an event to raise money for an Ann Arbor individual in need. This past year, thanks to our runners, sponsors and donors, we were successful in raising more than $4000 for the medical needs of Nick Breakey, a Huron High School student battling leukemia. The recipient of this year’s race may be familiar to you. Luisa Ponvert is an 8 year-old Bach Elementary School student, who is suffering a brain injury after contracting encephalitis in early 2008. Her mother, Adele Ponvert, was a local artist and was well-known throughout the Farmer’s Market and Ann Arbor Artist Communities. In November, 2009, Adele lost her battle with cancer after a long and exhausting 6 years. Luisa is now being cared for by her mother’s best friend, Chris Herdell. While we cannot relieve all of the burdens Luisa and Chris face, we are hopeful that with your help, we can offer just a little financial comfort at this time.
