Please Join us for Jessica’s 23rd birthday. Come support Jessica as her family supports this very improtant association and the work they do for Brain Injury victims and their families.

All registration money gets you a long sleeve shirt and goes to programs such as “Be a Head Smart Program”, educating elementary age school children about head safety. It also educates the communities and families about brain injury (packets) and keeps the Brain Injury Association web site updated. It also helps the Task Force of Veterans returning from Iraq to know how to help their families and loved ones.

Everyone who registers for this 5K in support of Jessica and her family will receive a yellow bandana from the Krehbiel family to wear the day of the race. (Yellow is Jessica’s favorite color)

After you register, please call the Krehbiel’s at 489-5491 or 489-9864 and leave a message with your name and phone number to receive your bandana.

We can’t wait to see you there in your yellow bandanas

For more information about the race, call 801 484-2240 or 1-800 281-8442

Just wanted you to know I registered for the Brain Injury Association of Utah 14th Annual 5K Run. We are not going to be able to be at the race, but wanted to support the Brain Injury Association. We continue to hope for Jess’s full recovery; our love and prayers are with you.

Love, Eldon & Kate Luce

Jess & Fam,
I can not say enough about how much I love all of you so much! WOW was today amazing or what that 5 k was GREAT! I had so much fun running next to Geri I am so glad she was they’re helping me keep going you rocked today! And see Jess walk over a mile to the very end of the race it brought me to tears to see her up ahead of us, Geri and I did not see Jess the whole time we were running and we could not figure if she was still going or if we missed her some how, when we rounded one of the last corners, and there she was walking still walking going on with her Dad Tim by her side helping her all the way. I have never seen a more touching sight then that of Tim lovingly walking and helping our Jess to the finish line, I will forever be touched by this moment for the rest of my life! I am so grateful to the Krehbiel Family for letting me be a part of their lives and part of this race supporting such a great cause! THANK YOU for your friendship and love You are the BEST! HAPPY 23 BIRTHDAY JESS I hope you get all you are hoping for and more you are my Hero I LOVE YOU!
Love, Jessa

Jess, I feel just like Jessa about our experience today as we walked, ran and rolled our way to the finish line. I am so sorry that I missed you at the finish line. You are what keeps all of us going. We think to ourselves if Jess can do it so can we and you are so blessed to have your mother and dad by your side and many others that support your efforts to meet your goals…. It is so awsome that one of your team got a first place in her age group. I am proud of you Jess and your family. I hope we do it again next year. I love you. Gooooooo Girl. Love, Grandma

Jessica,
I just wanted to stop and say hello. I bumped into you at the mall right before your accident and I still can’t comprehend it. My thoughts are with you. I just moved back to Mapleton, I would love to help in anyway that I could. Let me know.
