Cancer is a disease that affects everyone. Whether you’re a relative, spouse, friend, coworker, caregiver or patient, you understand that when one person is diagnosed, their entire network rallies together. Everyone’s network looks a little different, and sometimes, more assistance is needed to cover the costs of treatments, medication, travel, and time missed from work. The Mecklenburg County Cancer Association channels local generosity to provide financial assistance, ensuring that those battling cancer in our community receive the support they need.

This 5K is dedicated to the memory of Debbie Blue Winn, who passed away at age 66, shortly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Debbie was a bright-spirited mother and Dee-Dee, wife, friend, active member of Antioch Baptist Church, president of The Gideons International Clarksville Auxiliary, and dedicated employee of 37 years at Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative. She was health conscious and fitness-minded, always encouraging her colleagues to join her on morning and afternoon walks, and earning several trophies and medals in local 5K races.
