On a sunny and hot
Sunday morning over 3,000 people walked and ran in the fourth annual GE 5K Road
Race supporting the Petit Family Foundation. This year's event was filled with a
record breaking amount of participants.
"You're here, you're
a presence," said Dr. William A. Petit to the crowd. "Whether
you're running for someone who was lost in your family, or for your friend, or
for your foundation or for me. Just your presence here means a tremendous
amount and shows the love you have for friends and family. I really appreciate
that and the example you set for the community at large."
Thousands lined up
ready for race coordinator Bob Heslin to shout "on your mark, get set, go." Once
the words left his mouth a steady stream of adults, children and strollers
flowed through the streets.
