Dear. Mr. Fincham and Ms. Hathaway,

I was hoping to get the attached memo on the agenda for the March 4th, 2013 City Council

Meeting. The following email outlines the essentials of the S,A.V.E, A LIFE 5K RUN/WALK which

is to be held April 28th, 2013.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Chris Skowronski

February 19, 2013

Dear Mr. Al Fincham, Grosse Pointe Woods City Counsel and To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Chris Skowronski, a science teacher at Grosse Pointe North. I am also the advisor

for the environmental club S.A.V.E students against violations of the environment. As a

club, we are planning the 1st Annual S.A.V.E. A LIFE 5K. We were hoping to get permissionfrom our great city to host this event that would promote physical fitness, raise awareness

of the causes of leukemia and 100% of the proceeds would go toward childhood cancer research.

In addition, we feel that the run/walk would create a stronger sense of community, would be

good press for our city and our public schools.

Below, are some details that would help you understand the nature of the event.

1. Name of the Event: S.A.V.E. A LIFE 51<

2. Date and Time: Sunday April 28, 2013 at lOAM

3. Route: Start at GPNJ's track. Head east to Morningside. Take Morningside south to

Sunningdale. Take Sunningdale west to the fork. Turn around and head back to Morningside,

Take Morningside north to Vernier, go Left. Take this to the GPN driveway and go left to the

finish.

http: //www, runmyroute . com/UserRoutes/Details/72487

4. Beneficiaries: Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation Leukemia Research and their

`Celebration of a Life' Event for pediatric cancer survivors.

5. Purpose: We are organizing a 5K run/walk with the hope of raising awareness of the

connection between physical fitness, environmental sustainability and a better community.

A person that walks and runs on a regular basis is more likely to:

a Maintain a healthy weight

b Use less gas driving their car; thus saving money!

c Have more friends!

Overall, people who use less gasoline and conserve energy emit few air pollutants. Air

pollution around oil refineries is related to elevated risks of childhood leukemia, asthma

and other health ailments.

100% proceeds from our 5K will go towards Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation to help

find a cure for childhood leukemia. One child with this dreaded disease is too many.

6. Food/Water: Water will be passed out around the 2-mile mark on the course. Food will be

provided at the finish.

7. Volunteers: 20-30 student volunteers will be on the course assisting runners with

directions and ensuring the safety of the runners. Volunteers will be at the corner of every

turn for the race and will assist law enforcement officers as needed.

8. Number of runners: the race is hoping to recruit 400 runners for the 5K. This number is

based on other area races in previous years.

9. What is requested of the city:

To give Grosse Pointe North permission to run a race that would raise awareness to not only

to childhood cancers and environmental issues, but also if we reach our goal of having 400

runners, over $10,000 would be raised to benefit cancer research at Children's Hospital of

Michigan!

A police presence would be needed to ensure the safety of our participants.

Thank you city counsel for your time. I look forward to working with you to ensure that this

event can be a successt

Subject: RE: SAVE. A LIFE 5K RUN/WALK 4/28/13

Dear. Mr. Fincham and Ms. Hathaway,

I wanted to clarify the race route and note where police detail would be needed:

a From 945-1O4SAM

b Runners/walkers would use the GPN track to head east to Morningside. Using the SIDEWALK,

participants would talce this to Sunningdale. There, runners would head westbound. Runners

would stay on the sideway until they reached Wedgewood. Here we would have runners/walkers

use one north-bound lane of traffic on the street. They would take this down to the fork in

the road and complete a U-turn. Then runners/walkers would head east-bound to Morningside.

Then, using the SIDEWALK, participants would head north to Vernier. On Vernier, they would

use the sidewalk as they headed to GPNs driveway. Once on the driveway, participants would

finish the 5K course.

c Police detail would only be needed on Sunningdale. Volunteers would assist for traffic

flow on the rest of the course.
