In 2010 London's Run partnered up with Positive Impact, a non-profit organization committed to helping families in need. Positive Impact's mission is to help Arizona families in crisis by helping pay for life-giving medical procedures, groceries and utilities. Ninety-five percent of all funds raised is used to directly assist families with their basic living and medical needs. Just like London's Run, Positive Impact is powered 100% by volunteers; there are no paid employees. London's Run is proud to support this great cause in our community.

Lorin Merkley , known as "Merk Dog" to friends and "Lorin the Magnificent to family was a typical 18 year old who enjoys school, friends and sports. Family, church, football and music were most important to him. Lorin started playing the piano at 6 years old and blessed his family with this talent. Lorin played football for 5 years and was a hard hitting lineman. He loved the payoff on Friday nights when he got to knock down the opposing team.

Lorin graduated from Queen Creek High School in 2008 and got a scholarship to Chandler/Gilbert Community College. His plans were to attend until he was diagnosed with cancer. Summer 2008 was filled with a lot of pain, which was eventually diagnosed as an advanced Sarcoma. Tests remained inconclusive, thus the cancer was named “undifferentiated" Sarcoma. Instead of starting college, Lorin started a cancer treatment protocol with aggressive chemotherapy. His treatment plan was to be 52 weeks of outpatient chemo and pain management while the tumors diminish.

Lorin was valiant during treatment. He lost alot of weight, his hair, the ability to walk, and his freedom but he did not loose his hope, his spirit or his will to live. He passed from this life to the next on November 18th surrounded by many friends and family. The Solomon family empathizes with their loss and are so proud of the courage the Merkley family has shown. Lorin's motto was ETTE (Endure To The End) and his life has encouraged all those who know him to do the same.

London’s Run hopes that the Merkley's will still realize blessings far beyond what they could have ever imagined, and that their faith will be rewarded with peace and comfort.
