Fun Run/Walk Fundraiser & Silent Auction to Benefit the Fitzgerald Family

This event is a 3 mile family-oriented fun run/walk and a silent auction. (detalils on the silent auction will be posted soon) In January 2011, Kezia Fitzgerald, who grew up in Andover, MA, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that affects the immune system. A few months later, Kezia’s young daughter Saoirse (Irish pronunciation seer-shə, meaning "freedom") was diagnosed with an unrelated cancer called Neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer which produces tumors in the nerve tissue of infants.

Kezia, her dedicated husband Mike, and beautiful daughter Saoirse are now faced with fighting a long, costly battle against these diseases. Our goal is to raise funds to help the Fitzgerald family with the cost of their treatment and the overall long-term financial impact of two household members fighting cancer.

$30 per adult, $12 for children under 16 years old. (Includes an event t-shirt for all registered participants)!
