It's a way to remind people of the five ways to share life with others, and the runners who participated in this weekend's Five Points of Life marathon did their part to raise awareness for the cause.

Thousands of people participated in the 5th annual Five Points of Life marathon Sunday morning.

"It's just a lot of fun," Westley Reeves said. "The best part is the other people that your running with, being out having a good time."

"Obviously, a big relief to cross the finish line," Jackie Boudreaux said. "It's very helpful to have people along the route cheering you on and I know it's for a good cause."

A cause that will help raise awareness for the five ways people can help save lives like donating blood, tissue and organs.

As for Jackie, she says this is one of many goals she will cherish for a long time.

"If i can do it, you can do it," Boudreauz said. "I would say just go for it, just try."
