Mark Ragonese ("Rags" to all of us) was very seriously injured in a freak accident while setting up for the Survivor Harbor 7 race in downtown Baltimore.

The one year anniversary of the accident is upon us and the Survivor Harbor 7 is scheduled for June 14. The organizers of the SH7 have named the 4-Mile run in honor of Rags.

We invite you to participate in the SH7 (4 or 7 mile distances) as part of our Run for Rags Team. Rags himself will be part of the race day festivities and what better way to show your support than to come out and participate. (Notice we did not say "run" as many of us will only be walking.)

If you would like to join the Run for Rags team, you must first register for the event (the race entry fee is NOT part of the fundraising efforts.)

We are asking participants to collect donations for the Ragonee Family Trust. Those who raise $50 or more will get an official team shirt. Those who raise $100 or more will be invited to a post race lunch at Austin Grill with Rags.

We have made fundraising easy by allowing you to create a personalized Run For Rags donation site. To do so, simply click on "Become a Fundraiser" at the top of this page and follow the instructions. We look forward to your participation and thank you for your support!

You are still welcome to get updates on Rags' condition and even write a note to him and his family. at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/rags
