Please join us (come walk or run!) for a 5K Walk and 5K run honoring Darren and Sheila Snyder. On October 3, 2022, Darren suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. During that hospital stay, Darren and Sheila learned the cause of his stroke, Multiple Myeloma. Since then, Darren is fighting this disease and  is healing from his stroke. Darren and Sheila are both active and love to be outside. Sheila loves to walk and participate in 5k races. This race is in honor of them and to encourage them to keep going, while also being able to give back. Sheila and Darren want to help others in this journey.  This year, the funds will go directly to local individuals who are battling cancer, to help other individuals right here in our community, who are going through cancer treatments. The money is used to help with their expenses.  The need is so great, and Sheila hopes to help as many others as possible.
