Action Project

WHO - Who will be involved in your action plan and how will they be selected? (This section should explain your relevant community)

• Those who want to participant in helping raise money for fighting Parkinson’s disease, for the most part people who normally exercise and participate in marathons and walk will be selected for the action plan.

      WHAT - Describe in detail what your action or product will be, as well as clearly stating your measurable objective

•  My action will be to host/ be a part of a small marathon that has both running and walking for those who do not want to run the whole marathon.
•  This small marathon could possibly be a 5k run/walk event
• The measurable objective of this action will be how many participants are going to be a part of the small marathon, and the amount of money rose from the entrance tickets sold and the amount of donations from the participants.

      WHERE - Where will your action plan take place? (This includes any and all locations)

• My action plan will take place in Erie, PA at the Presque Isle Rotary Pavilion

WHEN - When will the action place take place? What is the timeline that you will follow to prepare?

• This event will take place in the month of April, which is the month dedicated towards awareness of Parkinson’s disease.
• The event is to be held on Saturday April 5^th, and the race starts at 9:00 a.m.
• The timeline I need to follow for this action to pull through is making sure that I have a source of transportation to the event/ race, making sure that I register for the event online, pay off the cost of admission, and recruit either a small or large group of people to come to the event with me.

      WHY? - Why are you doing this particular plan? What do you hope to accomplish? How does it relate to your essential question? 

•  I actually wanted to do this particular plan because I would like to be a participant in a marathon, and that I would be capable of making a video of me running the 5k stretch or take pictures of the event/ race.  
•  I hope to help accomplish the donation goals that the event holders set out for themselves when they scheduled the event.
• This relates back to the essential question I created because it will help in the search for a cure that can be used on Parkinson’s disease

      HOW - How will carry out the plan? What is the exact process that you must go through? What are the materials you will need, and how will you acquire them?

• To carry out this plan the first step I must make sure that myself and my group members are registered for the event/ race in April.  
• I need to find some sort of transportation to and from the even/ race for me, and my group members.
• Then I need to make sure that me and my group members are prepared for going to the event, and make sure that they get transported safely to the even/ race.
• I will then need to document pictures/ or a video of the event, in order to prove that I actually participated in this event/ race for my action plan.

    

      I really wish that I would have been able to go through with my first plan for my action project, which was the idea of hosting my own race/ marathon. Even though I couldn't fulfill my first plan for my action project, I still feel very successful about going at to Erie, PA and being a participant in an another event holder's 5k race/ walk.
