January
5, 2005 - Middletown, NJ - On Saturday June 24, 2006 the Ryan Andrew
Kaiser Memorial Foundation- (www.RAKMF.org) along with the Jersey Shore
Running Club, will hold its third annual 5k run/walk at the Mountain Hill

Park. Multiple children’s races will follow and will break out by age
group.
More than
500 runners are expected to participate in the run and a substantial number
of Family Sponsorships and Corporate Sponsorships are expected to support
the event. So far, local and national sponsors for Ryan’s Run 2006 include
Sleepys Bedding, The Mountain Hill School, UBS, Whole Foods, Bank of America,

The RAKMF
is a 501-c3 charitable organization established after the sudden and unexpected
death of Ryan Andrew Kaiser. Ryan, the 6-year-old son of Andy and Lauren
Kaiser was born with Congenital Heart Disease; Ryan had three open-heart
surgeries before he was 2 years old. Ryan’s Run is the premier fund-raising
and community involvement event of the RAKMF and each of the past three
years the event has substantially grown in participation and in support.
“In 2005,
we saw runners from as far West as California and as far South as Florida,”
said Andy Kaiser, founder of the RAKMF. “We anticipate the same reach
this year and are counting on a substantial increase in the number of
local runners as well as Family and Corporate Sponsorships,” he added.
The 2005 Ryan’s Run event brought over 400 runners and raised over $32,000.
These funds were distributed back into the community and to research.
RAKMF corporate partners provide financial contributions and many provide
products and services for the event each year.
The 2006
Ryan’s Run event will start promptly at 9:00 a.m. with food, drink, music,
awards and raffles to follow. Local roads close at 8:30 so runners, volunteers
and other participants are asked to arrive early.

About the
RAKMF Established in 2003, the Ryan Andrew Kaiser Memorial Foundation
has three philanthropic goals. The first is to financially assist local
families of critically ill children, who may not otherwise be able to
afford proper healthcare. The second is to raise and donate funds to hospitals
and Doctor Groups that specialize in the cure and care of pediatric heart
patients. The last goal of the RAKMF is to build and maintain a children’s
park, dedicated in Ryan’s name in the town of Middletown New Jersey, to
provide children and their families with a safe and fun place to play.
