The mission of the Timothy F. Wilking Memorial Fund is to honor and remember the giving spirit of Timothy Wilking born July 31, 1991 and died at the young age of eight on October 2, 1999. In eight short years he touched the lives of so many. He had a love for animals, sports, fishing, dancing, singing and even playing in the dirt. He approached life with much curiosity and a sense of humor. He lived life to the fullest and never ceased to amaze his family and friends with his charitable heart, giving nature and helping hands.
His love for his family and animals is the inspiration behind the first annual “To the Moon and Back” 5K run/walk.

The proceeds from the 5K event will be donated to the Belleville Area Humane Society (http://members.petfinder.com/~IL68/index.html) due to Timothy’s love of animals and the Galactosemia Organization (www.galactosemia.org) in honor of Timothy’s cousin Keegan Foley born June 1st with Galactosemia, a rare genetic metabolic disorder.
