On Saturday, June 21 the Jog for Julie & Dana Farber 5K family fun run/walk will be held in North Kingstown. This community event has been set up in memory of Julie Swistak Maloney, who died in March at age 43 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Julie was a Jamestown native and long-time resident of North Kingstown. She was a loving wife, devoted mom, and good friend to many. In addition to the caring support of family and friends, Julie received care at the world renowned Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. As an expression of gratitude for the wonderful care she received throughout her battle, Julie's family will donate all net proceeds from this family fun run/walk to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. It is the goal of Julie's family to aid Dana Farber's efforts to win the battle against cancer so other families do not have to endure the loss of loved ones.
The race will be held Saturday, June 21, 2014 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Address is:
