Please join us on Saturday, May 19th as we celebrate the 20th annual Miles for Myles 5K Run/Walk event in Rowayton held in memory of our eldest son. For the last 20 years on the third weekend in May, our local community of families and friends have come together to run, walk and celebrate our son’s birthday, his life and legacy on Rowayton’s coastal roads that he loved to walk, run and ride his bicycle. Myles was a beautiful child who brought the gifts of compassion, courage, tenacity, adaptability, resilience, hope, faith, and most importantly, love without boundaries into our lives. Many of you may remember our little boy who so easily made the simple gesture of putting his hand in yours. We’re asking you to join us and come together one last time for our final event after 20 years of community giving and creating change in so many wonderful ways. The Myles M. Beringer Foundation was established back in January 1999 after Myles’ sudden death from a heart arrhythmia. Since its establishment, the foundation has raised $415,000.00 and has directly funded local projects to improve the lives of children, serves to advance pediatric cardiac research at Yale New Haven Hospital, and provide scholarships to exemplary high school seniors based on honesty, integrity, sportsmanship and leadership. In addition to these annual gifts, we have also funded so many important local initiatives highlighted below:
Together, in Myles’ honor and fond memories, we have made an enormous impact on our community. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help continue our efforts and further the important work of charitable giving in our community. None of this would be possible without your love, friendship and support!
