Sanders Sisters 5K Run/Walk

Al and Angie Sanders

Just a few doors down from where the Lees lived on Shoal Creek Road was the Sanders family farm; a place where many of us locals enjoyed cool, early mornings picking blueberries from their lush, fruit laden bushes.

On the night of April 27th, the Sanders family suffered unimaginable loss.  Al and Angie Sanders died tragically in the tornado's wrath, their home and belongings were completely destroyed.   Their three precious daughters, though gravely injured, miraculously survived.

Having lost their parents, their home, and all their belongings in the storm, the Sanders sisters' needs are great. Some of their friends are hosting a benefit for Cecily (20), Cassie (18), and Ciera Sanders (14), a 5K Run and Fun Walk, here in Ashville, on Saturday, August 27th.  

You can read more about the Sanders family and the benefit being held in their honor here.  The website gives all the race details, registration forms, and ways you can be involved to support and encourage another sweet family in Shoal Creek Valley.
