WOW! What a day! THANK YOU to everyone who made the Trails for Tommy 5K & Children's Races a huge success! As many of you know, Tommy was able to join the festivities and even help send-off the runners with "Runners take your mark!" The weather was perfect and the 5K course turned out to be challenging and fun. Trails for Tommy raised approximately $28,000! That total, along with numerous sponsors and past fundraising efforts puts $60,000 in the Team Tommy Fund, Inc. account to help the Belsky Family. Everyone involved at every level should be very proud!
Please keep Tommy in your thoughts and prayers as he begins his final round of chemotherapy at CHOP. He is the overall winner of the Trails for Tommy race, so let's continue to give him our support!
