Organiser's description

WHAT IS RAYS RUN?
Ray Helton was the Executive Director of Fayetteville Area Operation Inasmuch from 2017-2019. He brought a vision to life when he championed the programs provided to men living at The Lodge. The Lodge helps homeless men who want to change their lives by giving them a safe place to live and the opportunity to get their lives back on track.

Rays Run is a 10K, 5K, and 1-mile event that serves to honor Ray and build upon the foundation he laid during his time at Operation Inasmuch.

WHAT DOES RAYS RUN BENEFIT?
Simply put, Rays Run will help us expand the Living Hope program at the Lodge.

We are in the process of developing a complete recovery program with case managers, trauma and substance abuse counselors, and peer support specialists.
