PROJECT SLO MILES is a fundraising effort to benefit Jim Slosiarek and his family. If you've lived in Eastern Iowa for the past 26 years, chances are you've run into Jim or seen his photojournalism work in The Gazette. Jim was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Gazette sportswriters Jeff Linder and Madison Hricik are teaming up to run the half-marathon at Cedar Rapids Marathon Weekend on June 7. You can support Jim and the Slosiarek family by purchasing a PROJECT SLO MILES shirt or by donating via Venmo @ProjectSLOMiles.

Store closes end of day on May 13. Your order will be delivered to The Gazette. An email will be sent when your order is ready.
