Description

The 2024 My BFF 8.13k walk will be on August 10th. You can participate virtually or in person and walk or run as little or as much as you can.

This is our Fifth Annual Fundraising Walk in support of My Best Friends Foundation. This foundation raises money to provide support to Friends fighting cancer and supports families who have lost someone to cancer. The walk is in honor of Rod Wittig and Sharon Berryhill. On August 13, 2020, Rod would have turned 50 years old. 8.13K is approximately 5.0 miles. These numbers are a perfect way to honor Rod's memory.

In addition to the Walk/Run this family friendly event also includes a Kids Zone with play area and a magician, a DJ with music, raffles, prizes and and ice cream truck.  The event is open to anyone who wants to attend.  The event is on the campus of Judson University in Elgin.  in past years, we have had neighbors from the area come over and join in and make donations to our festivities.
