THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2021 Page 7 ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ Brandon Conde promotes 5K road race Dear Editor: My name is Brandon Conde and I am reaching out for your support and sponsorship for Brandon Conde Day. On July 5, 2019, I was involved in a life-altering accident injuring C5-C7 of my spinal cord. I unfortunately fell out of a window screen while sleeping on a hot night. This horrifi c event left me a tetraplegic. Each year since 2019, Mayor Carlo DeMaria has declared October 24 “Brandon Conde Day” in the city of Everett to help support my recovery and living expenses. Residents and members of the community have been encouraged to wear the color red and have been asked to donate to my GoFundMe page in support of my recovery. For this year’s Brandon Conde Day, we will be hosting a 5K Road Race in the City of Everett on Sunday, October 24, 2021 at 10am with proceeds to support my recovery and living expenses. An appreciation barbeque will follow the road race to thank everyone for their support. I am humbly asking for support from my community. I am looking to gather sponsors for the event, and wish to create t-shirts and bracelets with all proceeds to support my recovery efforts. I am hoping that the community can join me on October 24th in wearing red, and can participate in the 5K Road Race. For information and to learn how to sign up please visit, www.brandonconde.racewire.com. As an appreciation of support, sponsors who donate to this cause will have their logo featured on the back of the t-shirts made for the road race.
