Third Annual 'Evelyn Knapp Run to Remember" November 18, 2012 - a Recap

Our Third Annual Evelyn Knapp "Run to Remember" video featuring Emma Thode and the Green Vale Pacers - two of Strength for Life's very generous fund raisers.

We just released the video for the November 18, 2012 Third Annual "Run to Remember"  to support Strength for Life .

You may remember, at that time we were all suffering the effects of Super-storm Sandy and Strength for Life was torn between canceling the event or carrying on in 'less that perfect' conditions.  Our run is held at Sunken Meadow and the course needed to be changed due to the obliteration of the dam . We decided to go forward and justified our decision by sharing the proceeds with families hurt by the storm. Strength for Life was able to share $4100 with 11 families.

Strength for Life is a grassroots nonprofit providing FREE exercise classes and wellness retreats to cancer patients on Long Island. We hold the classes at many venues in Nassau and Suffolk - including Stony Brook Cancer Center and Mather Hospital.
