On Sunday, August 16, following an honorary 5K race, the City of Melrose will take part in a community ice bucket challenge in memory of Mary O’Donnell.

O’Donnell was a longtime Melrose resident, a beloved mother and friend to many. She passed away last year after a battle with ALS.

The massive ice bucket challenge will be held around 10:15 a.m. in an effort to squash ALS.

City officials encourage all residents to come out and support the great cause. The race will begin at 9 a.m. at Pine Banks.
