4th Annual Adam Spector Walk to Win and 5K Run

The 4th Annual Adam Spector Walk to Win and 5K Run is set for 10 AM on Saturday, April 28th at Harriton High School. Register for the event, which benefits Hodgkin's research, via the new website for The Adam R. Spector Foundation, www.adamspector.org.

Adam was the valedictorian of the Class of 1999 at Harriton High School. He passed away from Hodgkin's lymphoma in April 2007 at the age of 25. Adam's last request to his parents was to fund money for Hodgkin's research. His vision was fulfilled through the establishment of the The Adam R. Spector Foundation. Foundation grants have supported the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Texas Children’s Hospital at Baylor College of Medicine. The Foundation strives to improve the outcome of the patients who relapse from Hodgkin’s and those who have refractory Hodgkin's.

Please take a moment to look at the new website to learn about Adam, who battled Hodgkin’s with much courage and strength. He was and continues to be an inspiration to the entire LMSD community.
