Lisa's Legacy  5K Run/Walk to Benefit Roswell Park Cancer Research 

Dear Friends,

As many of you know we lost our daughter Lisa Crawford to colon cancer in March, 2005.  Lisa's Legacy, the first 5k run, with all proceeds donated to colon cancer research, was a Mother's Day gift from my children in memory of our daughter.

The run was held May 12, 2006 and was an incredible success!!!!  With an inaugural record breaking 345 runners and walkers, the US Track and Field sanctioned race was held in historic Holy Cross Cemetery in Lackawanna, New York.

Lisa's entire family would like to thank each and every person who participated in any way . . .  our corporate and individual sponsors, our volunteers who worked tirelessly over the weekend, those who donated food, water, soft drinks, signage, our runners/walkers, and all the families that participated.

Our final figures are being tabulated and the results will be published soon on the Lisa's Legecy website.  We will be presenting a check to Dr. Marwan Fikah in the lobby of Roswell Park Cancer Institite sometime in June.

Every family has a similar story, cancer touches all of our lives.  This event was intended to help each one of you.  This was the legacy Lisa wished to leave and we will try to fulfill it in her memory.

Our planning meetings for next year's run begin in September, 2006.  If anyone is interested in participating, please call (716) 667-3570 or send an email to me at ekward@ekward.com.  The event will be held May 11, 2006, Mother's Day weekend.

Lisa lost her battle, we will win the war!

Thank you again for your support.

Sincerely,

Eileen & John Ward
