RYAN KELLEY OVER ALL WINNER!!!

Seventeen year old, Ryan Kelley,junior at Camarillo High School, ran and won the Baby Joey Run for Life 5K SIDS and Infant Loss Run/Walk held Sat. March 13, in Camarillo. Ryan is an ambitious young man. At birth it was dignosed that one of his kidney's was not functioning normal. After two surgeries he is on TRACK! He serves as an inspiration and a role model to his fellow students and as a resident of Camarillo.

There are so many unspoken words...but a simple thank you to all the first responders who truly cares.

It was really hard to face them, but I was blessed to have given the chance to meet my daughter's first responders. These individuals risk their lives everyday to serve our community.

The 2nd Annual Baby Joey Run for Life was a success once again! We had over 400 people who participated on the run/walk. The foundation made almost $9,000 on this event. Thank you to all who supported this great cause and for your kindness and generosity. Special thanks to all our volunteers!!!! Students from California State University Channel Islands (Nursing Students), students from Adolfo Camarillo High School, our friends, neighbors, and the whole community in the whole Conejo Valley.
