YMCA 5K RUN IN MEMORY OF JUDI
HELPING FAMILIES LIVE STRONG
SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 2017
Start 8:30am • Bay Shore, NY
The YMCA 5K Run – IN MEMORY OF JUDI is an annual 5K Run/Walk established to bring our community together in an effort to support friends, neighbors, and families battling breast cancer.
Proceeds from the event go to local families in crises as well as to fund scholarships for graduating high school seniors impacted by breast cancer. Race proceeds will also support LiveStrong at the YMCA, a free 12-week group-based exercise program for cancer survivors. Part of the Y’s commitment to strengthening community through healthy living, the program offers adults affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person.
Of course, all is done in honor and memory of our good friend and inspiration, Judi Shesh.
Enjoy the race and thank you for all of your support!
