Dear {{ participant_first_name }},

Thank you so much for pre-registering for the Standing Up to POTS Virtual 5K/2K happening on Saturday, October 18, 2025! We’re thrilled to have you join us in raising awareness and funds for POTS research — all with the goal of improving the lives of those living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

If this is your first virtual 5K/2K, here’s how it works:

• If you opted to receive a t-shirt and live in the United States, we’ll ship it to you at no additional cost. You can expect it to arrive within the next 2–3 weeks.

• On or around October 18, wear your shirt proudly and complete a 5K, 2K, or any distance that suits you — anytime, anywhere!

• Snap a photo of yourself participating and email it to socialmedia@standinguptopots.org. We’ll be creating a collage to share on our website and social media channels to celebrate your involvement.

Your participation means so much to us and to the POTS community. Together, we’re making a real difference.

With heartfelt thanks,
Cathy Pederson
Founder and President
