From the Organizer
Holly's Heart and Sole Run is a race in memory of our beloved Holly Rose, daughter, sister, mother, friend, who lost her battle with breast cancer in July of 2016 at the age of 33. She left behind her family and friends, including her young son, who all miss her and her smile, energy and contagious laugh every day. This race is organized to honor her memory and raise money for scholarships for graduates of Monroe High School who are pursuing degrees in Education, Music or Spanish.
