Event summary

Join us for the 2nd Annual Bee Happy 4 Odin 5K on Sunday, December 10, 2023, in beautiful Tempe, Maricopa! This uplifting event features a chip-timed 5K run/walk dedicated to honoring the memory of Odin David McRae, a joyful little boy whose spirit continues to inspire us.

Organiser's description

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL BEE HAPPY 4 ODIN RUN, A CHIP TIMED 5K RUN/WALK TO HONOR OUR SON ODIN DAVID MCRAE- FOREVER 2 YEARS OLD.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT GO DIRECTLY TOWARD FUNDING SWIM SCHOLARSHIPS, CPR TRAINING, POOL FENCES, AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION. THROUGH BEE HAPPY FOR ODIN, A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL FAMILIES HAVE THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO MAKE HAPPY MEMORIES SAFELY AROUND WATER.

ON JUNE 12TH, 2021 OUR SON ODIN WAS TAKEN FROM THIS EARTH IN A DEVASTATING DROWNING ACCIDENT. ODIN WAS A BEAUTIFUL, ADVENTUROUS, AND HAPPY 2 YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY WHO WAS FULL OF LIFE. HE HAD AN INFECTIOUS SMILE AND THE BRIGHTEST BLUE EYES. FROM THE MOMENT HE COULD FORM THE WORDS, HE WAS ASKING EVERYONE AROUND HIM "YOU HAPPY!?". IF YOUR ANSWER WAS ANYTHING BUT "YES!", HE WOULD MAKE IT HIS MISSION TO MAKE YOU SMILE. IN HIS SHORT TIME WITH US, HE BROUGHT SO MUCH LIGHT, LOVE, AND JOY TO US ALL.

UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO BE WITH HIM AGAIN, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD LOVE, HAPPINESS, AWARENESS, AND THE MESSAGE OF WATER SAFTEY IN HONOR OF OUR "SWEET ODIE BEE"!

WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US AS WE CONTINUE TO #BEEHAPPY4ODIN
