Join Team Cedarbrook for Lily's Hope 5K

The 2nd annual Lily’s Hope 5K Run/Walk is an event to raise funds and rally support for Lily Weaver, a courageous young girl battling Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. The event is being coordinated with the Patty Pollatos Fund, Inc., a non-profit organization that raises funds for families dealing with the financial strain caused by cancer and other challenges.  

Lily's Hope 5K 2011 - Team Cedarbrook
The Cedarbrook team had such a great time supporting this event last year we will be sponsoring and walking in the event again this year.  Join us on Sunday, November 11th, 2012 at the West Winds Tennis and Fitness Center at 8:30am.     We are easy to spot wearing the bright yellow Cedarbrook T-shirts!

You can register online here.  Registration fees go up on November 1st so don't wait - register today!

From Potomac Highlands Distance Club blog: “This past year, we gained first-hand experience in the financial and emotional toll that a cancer diagnosis places on a family.  We were extremely lucky to have the support of family, friends and absolute strangers – but other cancer patients aren’t so fortunate.  Many have nothing or no one to help.” expressed Amy Weaver, Lily’s mom.  “We look forward to giving back to the community that rallied behind us during our most difficult time.”

Here's the really great news:
Lily Weaver is back in her New Market middle school this fall and will participate in the 2nd annual Lily’s Hope 5K run/walk on Sunday, Nov. 11. She will wear bib No.1

 Hope to see you there.
