You’ll Never Run Alone 5K & Fun Run – July 24

 

You'll Never Run Alone 5K runners take offpurple balloonsYou could feel the love for Frank Alonso at the 3rd Annual You’ll Never Run Alone 5K and 1-Mile Fun Walk held July 24 in Anneberg Park, Manhattan. The local youth soccer coach passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018. Since then, Frank’s wife Jennifer and daughters Isabella and Sophia have worked hard to organize this annual 5K to honor him and raise money for pancreatic cancer research. We are deeply grateful to them and the hundreds of participants, sponsors and volunteers who helped this event raise $6,645 for K-State cancer research. This brings the total to $26,545!
