Jogging for Jake
EVERYDAY PE is PROUD to announce that we were able to
save families $3,825.00 in Summer Program fees
for participating in the Jogging for Jake Event!
Jake Maguire is an 8-year old boy who attends Wrentham Elementary School. On July 26, 2006, 3 days before Jake’s 6th birthday he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. After 25 months of treatment, which included chemotherapy, he went into remission and then the unthinkable happened in March of 2009. He relapsed.
A third grade class from Wrentham has decided to raise money for Jake and his family to help with the cost of driving to and from his treatment and for meals while they are away from home. Everyday PE would like to help! His mom, Kim Maguire, is a nurse at the Jackson School in Plainville and his dad, Mark Maguire, is an elementary physical education teacher in Wrentham. Together, with Jake’s sister Brenna they show us what it means to be a champion. Their strength, hope, and courage give meaning to us and to the rest of the world about facing a challenge in your life with dignity and honor. Jake is the essence of a true warrior. When Jake’s family and friends look at him they see only the strength and determination that he has and know that in his young life he will once again beat this cancer.
JOGGING FOR JAKE invites you to jog/walk around the King Philip High School Track on Saturday, May 2, 2009 (rain date May 3rd). Participants can make a donation to jog or walk around the track, once, twice, or as many times as they would like from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. Anyone who shows up to the event wearing an Everyday PE t-shirt and makes a $25 donation will receive $25 off per week at our Summer Program! Checks can be made out to "Donations for Jake Maguire." Please remember to hand your donation in to an EPE representative in order to receive your Summer discount, and to be entered into our RAFFLE for the chance to WIN A FREE WEEK!
