Undy 5000 - Miles for Marcie

The Colon Cancer Alliance (http://ccalliance.org) has organized a series of races called the Undy 5000 5k and they take place throughout the United States. Unfortunately, they do not currently have an Undy 5000 in the Boston area but they do allow people to run "virtually" to support their cause. Team Miles for Marcie is running or walking our own Undy 5000 on Saturday, July 16th at 9am at Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, Massachusetts. We invite anyone to join us...whether to run or walk in Marcie's honor and you can register to be our teammate or simply donate to the cause through this link http://support.ccalliance.org/goto/milesformarcie.

This is a very casual event as there will be no timing, no water stops, nothing but her family and friends walking or running Miles for Marcie.

Your tax-deductible donation will help support the Colon Cancer Alliance’s mission of battling colorectal cancer through patient support and education, increasing screening and public awareness of the disease, advocacy and supporting research for a cure.
