Jeff Taylor Run for SAFE 2011

You are invited to walk or run in Kansas City's newest 5K/10K run/walk event! This beautiful "out and back" course starts and ends in the E. H. Young Riverfront Park in Riverside and runs atop the levee alongside the Missouri River.

Proceeds from this event go to the Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment ("SAFE"), a non-profit program managed by the Kansas City Crime Commission that provides benefits to the families of fire fighters, law enforcement officials and EMS personnel that perish in the line of duty.

The event is named in honor of Jeff Taylor, a Riverside Police Officer that was struck and killed by lightning while conducting search and rescue operations in the aftermath of the 2011 Joplin tornado. Jeff represents thousands of men and women that risk their lives every day to protect the communities that we live in.

Please help us honor Jeff's memory and support the public safety community by coming out and participating in this event.
