Timmay 5k
The goal of the Timmay 5k is to emphasize how important being a donor is for hundreds of thousands of people, and most importantly, to bring friends, family, and community members together. The Timmay 5k will bring awareness to the need for organ, eye, and tissue donation and the process, hence the race’s slogan “Target Donor Awareness”. Funds generated will be given to the Gift of Life Transplant House in Rochester Minnesota.
The Timmay 5k is scheduled for the last Saturday in April, as this month is known as National Donate Life month. National Donate Life Blue and Green Day features an entire month of activities to help encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors and to honor those that have saved lives through the gift of donation.
More than 100,000 people are waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Transplants rely on the generosity of organ, eye and tissue donors, and there are not enough donors to meet the need. You can help.
