About this Virtual Run: Join the Glorious Gecko virtual race to support an organization dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities. Register for a 5k, 10k, or half marathon distance and then run or walk whenever and wherever you want to earn this 5″, googly-eyed, iridescent gecko medal! The unique plating on this 3D medal makes it change colors as you look at it from different angles, so it may not look exactly like the one pictured here. The attached ribbon features a beautiful quote from Ghandi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

About the Charity: In the wake of the Challenger accident in 1986, the Astronauts Memorial Foundation (AMF) was founded. The AMF honors the past and inspires the future, memorializing those astronauts who have sacrificed their lives for the nation and the space program by sponsoring the national Space Mirror Memorial, and by implementing innovative educational technology programs.

The Astronauts Memorial Foundation captures the technology developed in the United States’ space program and applies it to the field of education. They partner with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to provide technology training to educators throughout the nation with a particular emphasis on space-related technology. In addition, at The Center for Space Education they offer space-related educational opportunities for individuals, and, in doing so, improve the quality of the workforce in the space industry.

A portion of the proceeds from this virtual race (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to the Astronauts Memorial Foundation. For more information about this charity or to make a direct contribution, please visit amfcse.org.
