ABOUT

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.

Perhaps you didn’t have the pleasure of personally knowing Judi Shesh. She was a mother, a friend, a Y preschool teacher, a community leader, and an inspiration. Although she lost her second battle with breast cancer at the age of 41, her courage, love, and kindness will live forever in the hearts of the people who knew her and loved her. Please join hundreds of people from all over Long Island to celebrate and honor Judi Shesh while raising money and awareness in our fight against cancer.

Enjoy the race and thank you for all of your support!
