The Lake Naomi/Timber Trails Breast Cancer Rally has illustrated amazing numbers over the years and with the 2nd Annual 5K Run/Walk through Pinecrest July 12 adding to the cause; it looks like yet another year of taking it to the streets for some phenomenal community support.
“All the money raised here stays here,” tells Event Co-Director Sarah Naughton. She reports 2013’s $7,000 5K bounty added to Lake Naomi/Timber Trails Breast Cancer Rally’s total of over $70,000 made for a stellar year. She explained, “Linda Creed Breast Cancer Organization works with Dale & Frances Hughes Cancer Center [East Stroudsburg] to distribute funds to women in need.”
Naughton commented on last year’s event stating, “We were beyond thrilled with the number of participants, volunteer support and the overall support of the community.” She predicts the same overwhelming public response and more as spectators join participants shouting words of encouragement along the route, as well as, offering hugs and cheers at the finish where the fun continues with raffle prizes galore.
Prizes include two round trip tickets on Southwest Airlines, a Las Vegas getaway and a $500 American Express Gift card; so rise and shine then head on out to Pinecrest Swim Club in Pocono Pines.
Run or lend your support to participants and the breast cancer organization with registration starting at 7:00 a.m. and a 9 a.m. kickoff.
