Spotlight: North Shore Cancer Run RUN FOR A REASON WITH TEAM WICKED NATION Before you know it Team Wicked Nation will be once again lacing up our shoes for the North Shore Cancer Run on Nov 10th. Wicked Running Club has generously supported the North Shore Medical Center (NSMC) each year by having our members serve as race director(s), volunteers, and fundraisers for this race. The NSMC is one of the largest sponsors of the club’s Frosty Four Road Race. Proceeds from the Frosty Four fund scholarships each year to local high school athletes. As Team Wicked Nation Captain for this year’s Cancer Run, I am asking for your help.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2013 New this year: The North Shore Cancer RUN will feature a 5K and 10K road race starting at the Cove Community Center in Beverly, MA. This year’s race directors are Wicked members Denis Garriepy and Caitlyn Gaglione. Both routes are along the scenic Beverly coast and are “out and back” courses. The cost to participate is $30 and the first 300 participants will receive a long-sleeved tech running shirt. 7:00 a.m. Registration opens at the Cove Community Center 8:00 a.m. Shot gun start! 5K and 10K 8:30 a.m. Awards FREE PARKING - Lynch Park DIRECTIONS - The Cove Community Center is 2 miles from Route 128, located at 19 East Corning Street, just off of Route 127 in Beverly, MA.
My mother-in-law Mary Duffy was first diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in December, 1992 just before my daughter’s first birthday. We had thought she had beaten the cancer the following year. We received a devastating phone call in the summer of 1995 that her cancer had returned. Following a heroic effort to beat the cancer, Mary passed away shortly before Christmas at Mass General Hospital. Too many of us have similar stories to share. Please join us in helping patients fight cancer at the North Shore Cancer Center in Danvers, as well honor those who are no longer with us. Join Team Wicked Nation and run for a reason. Thank you. — Rich Tabbut
