Brittany nears ticket purchase to Australia
CUMBERLAND – Frankfort High School senior Brittany Armentrout is two-thirds of the way toward reaching her fundraising goal to fund the experience of a lifetime.
In November, Armentrout, 18, was invited to attend the Down Under Sports International Games in Australia to compete in a series of cross country races. The catch? She had to raise $4,500 to pay for it. Through Sunday, Armentrout and family members - along with generous contributions from friends, family and strangers alike in Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania - have raised more than $3,000.
The next fundraiser for Armentrout is the Spring is Here! 10K and half-mile kids runs on Saturday, April 4. Race-day registration begins at 7 a.m. at Union Grove Campground on Mason Road. Entry fee is just $3 for the general public and free for Mountain Maryland Marathon Club members. Donations also will be accepted.
