1st annual TATE 5k Run/Walk
|
Taylor Pierron started running before he could walk. He loved hunting, fishing, and being outdoors so much he received his degree in landscaping. He was selfless and always there to lend a hand to those in need. Taylor lost his life in a terrible accident in November, 2012. This fundraiser will enable Taylor’s legacy and spirit to live on through charitable works. He is truly missed by his family and friends. Please honor his life with us. All proceeds go to “Bridges of Saint Mark”, a ministry of St. Mark Catholic Church, helping Rach Suc Mission Church and its surrounding community in Can Tho, Vietnam in in the form of projects. Our intentions are to set certain projects as goals and work to fulfill them. Our recent efforts have focused more on water filtration and purification. As we grow, we hope to help in other ways; such as, playgrounds for children, transportation, facilities for the many Vietnamese doctors and teachers who volunteer on a weekly and sometimes on a daily basis, and whatever the needs might be. |
Dedicated, sensitive, energetic, good natured, compassionate, determined and selfless are all words that can describe our brother, Taylor Pierron. Although his life was short lived, he accomplished many things by being blessed with all of these traits. The qualities that Taylor possessed can be seen through his devotion to his family, friends, life long dreams and aspirations. His love for track and the outdoors makes the 5K a fitting attempt to allow his character to continue and to truly benefit those in need.
This years 5K event will be held at where Taylor had the opportunity to spend much time during both his childhood and young adult years. The proceeds from the race will provide funds to support Bridges of Saint Mark and their efforts to improve the living conditions for the communities surrounding the Rach Suc Mission Church in Can Tho, Vietnam. One of Taylor’s best friends, Louis Lugo, will be heavily assisting in the mission work by dedicating several months to help improve the living environment by providing water filtration systems.
Taylor’s legacy and spirit will live on through these charitable works. Although he is no longer with us, we are urged to keep his memory living as we make efforts to assist others. We know that our brother would be supportive of this event and excited to have a direct hand in helping those in need. We ask of you to please help support the mission by participating or sponsoring the event. We appreciate and thank you for your contribution.
