Morton Grove run to benefit pediatric cancer support
The Ana Banana 5K Walk/Run & 1-Mile Fun Run will take place in Morton Grove this year to honor a local child’s memory and raise money for a foundation supporting families with children battling pediatric cancers.
The Ana Banana walk/run was created in honor of Ana Molnar, a young girl who passed away from DIPG (pediatric brain cancer). The run is intended to celebrate her life and spirit, as well as raise awareness of pediatric cancers and how it affects families whose children have received the diagnosis. The funds raised will be used to help establish the Ana Molnar Foundation, a foundation that will offer support and resources to families with children battling any form of pediatric cancer.
The event will consist of a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun through the trails of Harms Woods North. All race packets will include a tracking number and a T-shirt, and every participant under the age of 16 will receive something to signify their completion of the event.
Many run-type events like this that offer T-shirts to participants will often include on the shirts the logo design of local businesses who are sponsoring the event as a way of thanking them.
The Ana Banana run/walk is scheduled to take place on September 6 at 10:00 am. Harms Woods North is located at 8936 Harms Road, Morton Grove.
