JUSTIN OSMOND’S 250 MILE RUN 4 HEARING!

Justin Osmond, son of Merrill Osmond has been on an intense training schedule since September of 2014 to run the biggest & longest trek of his life. He isn’t running for himself, he’s running 250 miles to raise awareness and financial support for 25 deaf children living in Southern Utah who will be receiving the gift of better hearing.

This Run 4 Hearing event will kick off the start of this trek on Saturday May 2nd starting in Justin’s hometown of Ephraim, UT located at: Canyon View Park, 650 S. 100 E starting at 9 AM. This will begin with a press conference at 8:45 AM and then a 5K Fun Run (open to the public). This will also kick start Justin’s 250 miler to St. George where the kids will be anxiously waiting to receive their new hearing devices.
On Saturday May 9th at the finish line in St. George (location and time TBD), there will be another benefit run entitled “Super HEAR-O 5K Fun Run.” A grand celebration will take place as family, friends, and many community members will come together to pay tribute to our young Super HEAR-O’s that deserve to hear life’s precious sounds.

All the proceeds from this Run 4 Hearing event will benefit the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund (OOHF). The OOHF is excited to announce their partnership with the Washington County School District Foundation. Together they will work towards their goal in helping many deaf & hard of hearing students within the Washington County School District with better hearing.

“We are thrilled and so excited to partner with the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund in this worthy endeavor to help many of our deaf & hard of hearing students in our school district. I’m excited to see them excel and reach their greatest dreams and aspirations through the gift of better hearing.”
Pam Graf ~ Director of Washington County School District Foundation

Olive Osmond was the matriarch of the world-famous Osmond singing family. Two of her children were deaf and she devoted her life to helping people with hearing loss. “The reason the original Osmond Brothers started performing in the first place, was to raise money to buy hearing aids for their deaf siblings. I’m simply paying it forward to help more deaf people who don’t have the resources, and to empower them to be all they can be.” Justin says.
