Many of us make resolutions to get in better shape and to lose weight. However, by February, those resolutions fade. The busyness of life sets in. What if instead you committed to not only take care of your own health, but also join a community to help and bring awareness to those battling cancer?
That is what four ladies did when they decided to start the Me Strong 5K in Downtown DeLand. The race was initiated when these women, Kim Winters, Barbara Underhill, Kim Martin, and Kathy Guyer wanted to honor their friend Linda Ryan who was diagnosed with recurrent cervical cancer at the age of 43.
From its humble beginnings, the MeStrong 5k continues to be an annual event. It has grown to be the largest 5k hosted in Volusia County. In addition to the annual 5k, MeStrong hosts a variety of events that promote healthy living and strong communities.
Many of us at Swann Real Estate are choosing to run in the MeStrong 5K on February 2, 2018. We place a priority on our own health, but we are also passionate about supporting our community in the greater fight against cancer.
We encourage you to join us by registering for the MeStrong 5K event here. Being a runner is not required. Many people walk the entire course through the streets of Downtown DeLand. It isn’t a matter of how fast you can run. It is about standing in solidarity as a community to fight something that has taken too many loved ones away.
Another way you can participate is by donating to the MeStrong Foundation. All of the proceeds go to fund groundbreaking research.
Join us and lets cheer on each other was fight against cancer together.
