For the Washington Running Report

The Angel Kisses Executive Committee has selected Capital Running Company to officiate the fifth annual 5K/2K race on May 11, 2008. This community event brings in approximately $20,000 per year for the Jeffrey Virostek Memorial Fund. In the past few years, the Jeffrey Virostek Memorial Fund has donated to organizations and charities who provide support services for families fighting cancer such as "Life with Cancer" counseling services, The Red Apple Clown Care Ministry, Colors of Love, CaringBridge, Special Love, and Candlelighters.

"Angel Kisses has been attracting approximately 200 quality runners each year since our inception," said Tasha Virostek, Chairman of the Jeffrey Virostek Memorial Fund. "We decided that our fifth year was a good time to upgrade our officiating capabilities. We are looking forward to utilizing the latest ChampionChip technology to make Angel Kisses even more successful."

About Jeffrey Virostek:

Jeffrey Douglas Virostek battled acute myelogenous leukemia at the young age of 2. He demonstrated great faith and courage during his struggle, but he succumbed to this blood cancer in 2003. His family was devastated, but benefited from a terrific neighborhood support group as well as a handful of cancer- related support groups. The Angel Kisses 5K has become an annual celebration of Jeffrey's life.
