Talbot Memorial 5K Will Take Place on October 6, 2024

Danvers, MA -- The Talbot Memorial Walk/Run will take place this year on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at 10 am 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. “In 2022, 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 Talbot Memorial Fund has supported more than 100 individuals and families battling cancer on the North Shore. In addition, Scholarships have been given to approximately 70 deserving Danvers High School seniors in Lynda and Bruce's memory. Lastly, donations have also been made to many 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 of all our sponsors and participants,” said Julie (Talbot) Donnelly. “Your commitment to this cause, year after year, has truly made a difference in people's lives, and 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.
