Danvers Talbot 5K To Aid Families Battling Cancer, DHS Scholarships

Danvers, MA - The Talbot Memorial Walk/Run will take place this year on Sunday, October 1, 2023 at 10am at Great Oak School.

“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. “Last year we lost our dad, Bruce, after his incredibly courageous fight against lung cancer. To honor their memory and contribute to the ongoing fight against cancer, we have established this memorial 5k.”

The Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Fund has helped over 80 local individuals and families battling cancer, scholarships have been given out to more than 50 deserving Danvers High School seniors in Lynda's memory and donations have been made to cancer research organizations.

Proceeds this year will go towards The Talbot Memorial Fund, which will also provide financial support to local families battling cancer and scholarships to Danvers High School students.

“None of this would be possible without the generosity from all of our sponsors and our participants,” said Julie (Talbot) Donnelly. “Your commitment to this cause, year after year, has truly made a difference in people's lives, and for that, we wholeheartedly thank you.”

Bruce and Lynda Talbot had been lifelong residents of Danvers; attending Danvers High School, creating lasting relationships, and raising a family within the community.
