Rose Eldridge was a junior at Charter School of Wilmington when she was seriously injured in an automobile accident on March 19, 2005.  The driver and the other passenger in the car, both friends and classmates of Rose, were killed in the accident.  Rose survived the accident, but suffered a severe brain injury.

Rose was a member of the Corpus Christi CYM track & field and cross country teams from the time she was in fourth grade through eighth grade at Corpus Christi School.  Even after Rose was in high school, she stayed connected with the team because her younger sister (currently in ninth grade) was a member of both teams.  After Rose’s accident, a group consisting of her former coaches and friends felt that Rose’s Run would be a great way for our community to show love and support for Rose and her family.

On November 16, 2008,  we will hold the fourth annual Rose’s Run.  Rose faces a long and difficult recovery from her injuries.  Proceeds from Rose’s Run will be given to Rose’s family to help with medical costs and provide the specialized equipment, facilities and attention needed for her day-to-day activities.  In addition to your financial support, please keep Rose and her family in your prayers.
