From the Organizer
Because You Can is a Halloween 5K run and walk created in memory of Leslie Ungerott. Most participants walk, and people of all ages and abilities are welcome. The event brings families, students, teams and sponsors together to help Kateswell support people affected by cancer. Sponsors cover the event costs, so 100% of registrations and donations support Kateswell’s mission, helping with real needs such as medical bills, rent and utilities.
