With
your help the 2020 Virtual SudburyROCKS!!!
Marathon Raised $77,000 for the Northern Cancer
Foundation!
As you and 700
other participants hit the streets on Sunday,
October 25th by running and walking all over
the province (and sprinkled throughout the
world), $77,000 was raised for the Northern
Cancer Foundation (NCF).
This year presented
a number of challenges to our annual race
such as the change of date and decision to
go virtual, but the biggest hurdle came with
the loss of SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon co-founder
Steve Matusch to cancer on March 11th. Steve
was the visionary behind the race and was
an inspiration to all runners and walkers
of the event. This year, SudburyROCKS!!! and
the NCF adopted the hashtag #RunningforSteve
in his memory.
“This year
has been a great success, but it has also
been very difficult,” said Vince Perdue,
co-founder of SudburyROCKS!!! and close friend
to Steve. “It’s definitely a bittersweet
moment. We’re so proud of what we were
able to accomplish with SudburyROCKS!!! this
year, but not having Steve with us to see
it and run the race is just so different.
I know he would be proud of what we have achieved
and of this donation to local cancer care.”
“We are
grateful to the many runners, donors and community
partners for coming together to make the virtual
SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon a success,”
says Anthony Keating, President & CDO
of Foundations and Volunteer Groups at HSN.
“Scrolling through the numerous posts
on social media, it is clear how special this
event is. We are proud to be supported by
the SudburyROCKS!!! community.”
