Run for Hope supports Gilda’s Club

On Saturday, the annual Gilda’s Club Run for Hope was held at The Rock in Coal Valley. This family-friendly event let participants show support for people who have been impacted by cancer.

New this year were yard signs along the route to honor loved ones who have been impacted by cancer. The goal was to have the race route filled with constant reminders of why individuals are running.

Many runners wore custom bibs with pictures and names of people for whom they ran.

A Purina Doggy Dash was held along with the 5K run and one-mile fun run.

Money raised stays in the Quad Cities community to help families and individuals impacted by cancer.
