Mud Run Guide partners with For Those Who Would and OCR World Championships to award the first For Those Who Would OCR Humanitarian Award. For Those Who Would, a Richmond, Kentucky based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity rooted in the obstacle racing community launched this week as an organization supporting individuals unable to participate in athletic and physical recreational activities due to debilitating injuries or chronic diseases.
“We want to use the passion of obstacle racing and endurance athletes to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of those individuals who are unable to compete because of illness or injury” said Founder Jeff Cain.
“For Those Who Would also supports endurance and adventure athletes by providing a mechanism through which they can raise money for their own personal cause that matches the foundation’s mission. We want to provide a charity that the entire OCR community can support and be proud of”.
The 2015 For Those Who Would OCR Humanitarian Award was created to honor an OCR athlete who through his/her actions off the course unselfishly makes a positive difference in the lives of others. The award will be presented at the 2015 Obstacle Course Racing World Championships in Oregonia, Ohio on October 16th.
