Many local races and walks are held as fundraisers for various charities and organizations. Participating as a walker or runner is a great way to spread awareness, help fund research, and do something good for your mind and body.
One example is the West St. Louis County Relay for Life. The 2009 campaign has begun. Area cancer survivors and their supporters are already recruiting relay teams for the August walk. Most of the funds raised through the Relay go to cancer research, but some stays in the community to support local cancer patients.
Anyone interested in forming a team for the Relay may sign up online at www.relayforlife.org. They may also contact Cheri Burdick, team recruitment chairwoman, at 254-4692; Mark Demillo, event chairman, at demillomark@yahoo.com; or Renee Tomatz at Renee.Tomatz@mchi.com.
