Farmington High School Students Organizing Charity 5K Run/Walk Event

FARMINGTON, CT - The Farmington High School sophomore class is collaborating with an area charity to sponsor a 5K run/walk event in April, according to class advisors Lauren Luciani and Jessica Tolles.

The Class of 2018 is working with Amy’s Angels on the event, which will take place Sunday, April 10 at Winding Trails Park in Farmington.

Amy’s Angels is a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive short and long term assistance to individuals and their families dealing with debilitating effects of serious illness or injury. It is named in honor of Amy (Fiondella) Bochman, a beautiful and dedicated mother who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2013 before her son Ethan reached the age of 6.

To sign up to run or walk as an individual or team, visit the Amy’s Angels website event page: http://www.amysangels.org/#!news---events/c10d6.

Those unable to participate, but wish to donate to the cause, may do so on the website as well.

All profits of this fundraiser go directly to Amy’s Angels, to continue to support local families struggling with illness.

There are prizes and awards to the age-group winners of the race, as well as the highest fundraisers:

• Top 3 Males and Top 3 Females
