Join us for the 1st Annual Peacehaven Barnyard Dash!
Running to make a difference in the lives of people with
disabilities…
Peacehaven Barnyard Dash is a 5K run/walk through the acres of
Peacehaven Farm. You will enjoy running a scenic path through the
farm and by the lake, finishing at the farm barn.
This is a FUNdraising event for Peacehaven; if you are able, please
raise money for this wonderful organization.
The History of Peacehaven Farm Peacehaven Farm
is inspired by the family members of the farm's leaders: Tim and
Susan Elliott, and Buck Cochran. All are parents of children with
special needs. They have experienced the joys, the heartaches, the
quest to "fix", and the awe and wonderment of having someone they
love with intellectual disabilities become all they were meant to
be.
The Elliott's twin son had a brain hemorrhage shortly after birth.
They wanted to ensure that not only was their son cared for, but
that he was also in a learning and loving environment. Buck had long
had an interest in people with disabilities and in the ministry of
L'Arche communities. The L'Arche model pairs residents with
assistants. The residents become our teachers and we all grow. In
the fall of 2007, the three began transforming a place called
Peacehaven from a dream to a reality.
In 2009 Susan lost her battle with cancer but her vision continues
to inspire many people who brought the farm and its programs to life
in 2010. We will now continue her dream by running to make a
difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
