25th Annual Run for Life MU DPT 5k

The 25th Annual Run for Life 5k will be hosted by the University of Missouri Doctor of Physical Therapy organization. The race is planned to be held at Cosmo Park trail at the Burford Shelter at 9:30am on October 8th. Participants are to arrive at 9:00am in order to be checked in for the race and given the details of the race path. Following race, participants will be invited to stay for food and games. 

The purpose of this event is threefold:

To honor the memory of two special individuals who were students of the Mizzou Physical Therapy Program:
Christopher Griffith tragically died shortly after graduation while working as a local home health therapist. Stacey Bragg was a member of the Class of 1997 who passed away while enrolled in the program.

Each is remembered for their kindness, gentle spirit, compassion for others, and support of the profession.       

To raise funds for SPTO: funds are used to support physical therapy related service activities, student professional development through stipends to attend state and national PT conferences, and to cover administrative costs of SPTO.
