Grandville- Over 4 thousand runners and walkers were on hand for the 16th annual “Run For A Cure” in Grandville.
Survivors and supporters of all ages completed the 5 K course and all had their reason for being there.
Deb VanderWeide just completed a one year battle with breast cancer and it was her way of celebrating a victory over the disease. “it has been a long year, it means I fought breast cancer and won and by the grace of God I am here running today, a lot of prayers from friends and family and here I am”
For Mary Steffes she was there to honor her mother in law, a brave woman who lost her battle with cancer.
“it just lifts you up to where you can not even believe how high it lifts you. It is a true true inspiration to what family and love and hope all mean”
75 percent of all proceeds will go to education, screening and treatment programs.
