Lorna and Lafe are kicking off our next season of running for Dragon Master Initiative https://dragonmaster.org/ with the Disneyland Halloween Chills and Thrills Challenge, which is the 10K on Saturday, and Half Marathon on Sunday, we are also adding in the 5K on Friday for good measure!!! Our Dragon Master running season is a full one, after Disneyland, we will be gearing up for a repeat of the Dopey Challenge at Disney World 8-12 January.  We’re throwing in the Marine Corps Marathon in October, Lorna’s idea, not Lafe's. ?.  And we’ll round out the season with the Springtime Surprise 3-6 April.  Our total fundraising goal for the season is $12,000. 

This year we are dedicating our running season to a very special young lady who is also a cancer survivor.  Elsie Smith is a four-year old bundle of joy and energy.  Whether running around outside or being silly, Elsie knows how to create a fun and vibrant atmosphere.  She adores snuggling with her family, playing with her big sister, and singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the top of her lungs.  Like her favorite Disney character, Rapunzel.  Elsie is independent and unafraid to take charge.  With her infectious giggle and playful nature, Elsie is a ray of sunshine in the lives of those around her, spreading joy wherever she goes!
