The Susan McDaniel Run for Lovelane.is named in memory of Susan McDaniel, a Weston resident, who was a student at Lovelane throughout her two-year battle with cancer. Her family has remained involved with Lovelane and supports this inspiring event in Susan’s memory, naming the event and creating a tuition assistance fund in her name. Susan’s family and friends participate in the run every year and continue to show passion and support for the program that Susan loved.

Marathon Sports/Wayland and the Weston Recreation Department have teamed up to create a Couch to 5K program which begins April 5th to meet weekly and to culminate with the Run for Lovelane. Check out Weston.org to register.
