Organiser's Description

Join us for the 2nd Jacks Team 5K Walk and Run on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Southern Lehigh High School. This 5K is in memory of Jack Hankee, former Southern Lehigh middle school assistant principal who lost his fight with cancer last year. In November of 2023, Jack was diagnosed with angiosarcoma, which is an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer. Thanks to the compassionate care and innovative treatment he received at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Jack was able to spend invaluable time with his loved onestime that made a lasting impact on all who knew him.
