Annual Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Walk/Run Will Be Virtual

Danvers, MA -- The Annual Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Walk/Run will take place virtually this year the week of October 17th. Since 2011, the Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Fund Has Given Out Over $120,000 to Help Others

“In 2011, our community rallied together for the first Lynda J. Talbot Memorial 5K Walk/Run to honor the life of our mom Lynda J. Talbot after her courageous battle with breast cancer,” said Stacy (Talbot) Bazylinski. The first race was a huge success and thanks to so many, this fundraiser has been going strong for the past 10 years. We are optimistic that despite these unprecedented times, our community can still come together, even if virtually, to help those in need.”

The Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Fund has helped over 65 local individuals and families battling cancer, scholarships have been given out to more than 40 deserving Danvers High School seniors in Lynda's memory and donations have been made to cancer research organizations.

Earlier this month, The Lynda J. Talbot Committee was named a Hometown Hero by the Boston 25 Morning News.

“Just this year alone, we've donated $20,000 to those in need of support as they battle this horrible disease,” said Julie (Talbot) Donnelly. “None of this would have been possible without the generosity of all our former sponsors and participants. Your commitment to this cause has truly made a difference in people's lives, and for that, we wholeheartedly thank you.”

Bazylinski was 12 and Julie (Talbot) Donnelly was 10 when their mom Lynda J. Talbot of Danvers was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Twenty three years after the first diagnosis, they lost their mom to cancer and then started the annual walk / run in her name.
