Description
Dave’s Run for ALS is an event for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The event is named for the late David Filer, avid runner, active SAR member, and local business owner. David was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in the summer of 2000. Currently there is no cure for this fatal disease. Proceeds from the event will go specifically for ALS research, via the Jim Himelic foundation.
A separate event: Family Fitness Fun Run/Walk will also be held, over a distance of approximately 1 mile.
