Looking for a meaningful way to spend Mother’s Day with your mom or honor the memory of your mother? Consider walking or running in the Y-Me Breast Cancer Organization 5k. The event will begin at Grant Park at 9:00 a.m. on Mother’s Day, May 13. This event is always exciting and uplifting with thousands of runners and walkers participating. Last year saw more than 3000 men, women, and children showing support for a great cause. Entrants are asked to raise money for breast cancer research in the form of pledges.

You can register online until Friday May 11th or one at one of the packet pick-up locations. You can also register on race day prior to the event. For more information about the event visit the Y-Me website.
