Organiser's description
Marti Leider may not have won her battle with cancer, but she never let it defeat her. Inspired by her life, the Marti Leider Foundation strives to support those living with colon cancer and their families by fundraising for scholarships for affected children, research for a cure and donations to hospice care centers.
The Marti Leider Foundation's Fifth Annual Cancer Schmancer 5K run/walk will be held September 16, 2023 at Rollins Savanna in Grayslake, Illinois. Besides being a great place to break a sweat, this location was special to Marti because she often walked there to get away from her lovely family who was not at all annoying.
