5th annual Liz Hurley Ribbon Run ... A Tremendous Success!
Thanks to the 3,634 runners who joined us early on a spectacular Fall morning to raise more than $150,000 to benefit the Liz Hurley Breast Cancer Fund at Huntsville Hospital Foundation. In just five years, the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run has grown to become not only the largest race in Huntsville, but also in the state of Alabama! As we celebrate the success of the Ribbon Run, we also celebrate Liz’s 10th anniversary as cancer-free! All proceeds from the Ribbon Run will help pay for the Breast MRI machine at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children.
Congratulations to the following winners:
The Sara’s e-racers team wins the prize as top fundraising team once again this year, raising $10,535! They ran in memory of Sara Copeland, who lost her battle with breast cancer.
