Community Friday, March 4, 2016

 

On February 14, the Graham Herd returned to Jacksonville for the seventh consecutive year to participate in the “26.2 with Donna Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer.”

Donations from the run benefits breast cancer research at the Mayo Clinic and well as helping to fund the needs of underserved breast cancer patients.

Participants in the Graham Herd include members of the extended Graham family, The Graham Companies and friends who run in memory of Sandra Graham Younts (sister/aunt/friend) as well as other family and friends.

There were four relay teams for the 26.2 mile course and one half-marathon runner (Cynthia Graham Gordon). Over the seven years, the Graham Herd has raised over $120,000 for the cause including over $18,000 this year.
