Destination? Bethany Beach, Delaware, The Quiet Resort, Events, Bethany Beach Breast Cancer, 5K Fun Run & 3K Walk, Vance Kane Memorial Fund, Little Pink Houses of Hope, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware
A sense of community, small town atmosphere, a family destination….the ocean, tax free shopping, and plenty of dining…..that’s Bethany Beach, Delaware.
A big shout to Ann (Annie) Raskauskas, who never stops. She is the founder of the Annual 5K Fun Run & 3K Walk. This event happens the second week-end in May every year. Once again plenty of runners and walkers came to Bethany Beach to help with a good cause.
Annie welcomed everyone…the teams, which were so funny, trying to out do each other. The theme for 2014 was “Take A Swing Against Breast Cancer”.
Carol got everyone to stretch before the run on the Boardwalk, and presented this young winner with her prize.
This is a feel good event. So many supporters; everyone knows someone with breast cancer. This year’s beneficiaries were: Vance Kane Memorial Fund, supporting Beebe’s Breast Health Center, 302-644-2900. And, Little Pink Houses of Hope, providing week long beach retreats for breast cancer families. This year’s retreat is coming up the first week in June. Their website is http://www.littlepinkhousesofhope.org.
My late husband, John, was a big supporter of the Bethany Beach Breast Cancer. A banner thanking us, his family, was much appreciated.
Even though this event is already over, the work begins immediately for 2015. If you are interested in donating or knowing more about Bethany Beach Breast Cancer, please visit http://www.bethanybeachbreastcancer.com.
So, pencil it on your calendar….Second week-end in May. Already the theme for next year is settled. Talk to you later.
