2020 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2  May 12th will be Florence Nightingale’s 200th Birthday!  Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC, DStJ was an English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organized care for wounded soldiers. We are excited to honor her 200th birthday with our Florence Nightingale 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2.   The quote on the medal says, “I attribute my success to this – I never gave up or took any excuse.” Plus, we will also be donating 15% of every registration to the Florence Nightingale Foundation [https://florence-nightingale-foundation.org.uk/], an amazing organization who’s mission is “To pioneer change and improvements in patient and health outcomes, through nursing and midwifery clinical and research leadership, honouring Florence Nightingale’s legacy.”  *For a limited time you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE!
