Another Run for Stephen
Our neighbor, Makaila is organizing a 5K run/walk in Stephen's honor set for the 21st of this month. She's already got local radio station 93.3 KOB FM on board and they have already announced the date last Monday.
She will return to KOB's studio to be interviewed on the air Thursday morning about the event she's putting together. Apparently the radio station is even planning to change their name on the day of the run to 93.3 STEPHEN Radio.
We are so grateful for her big heart and wonderful actions. Thank you Makaila.
Here is the info she has provided:
