Vicki Bate sent me a race notice about a swim/run event at Hood College. This is a fund raiser to help support a local person’s fight against cancer. Info:

Did you know…
1 in 2 males and 1 in 3 females have a lifetime risk of developing cancer.
This year 1.39 million people worldwide will be diagnosed with cancer, 25,870 in the state of Maryland alone.

Cancer effects all of us, but together we will win. Please join MAC to raise awareness and support Mrs. Rossick’s fight against cancer.
