Last year, Running4Life, the 501(c)(3) non-profit that organized in 2013, unveiled The Reflection Memorial Bridge in memory of Mayci Powell, a Mechanicsburg 20-year-old who lost her battle to cancer.

This year, the group will memorialize Devon Burke, a young man who the Running4Life team enjoyed supporting during his six-year courageously-fought battle with Ewing Sarcoma. Devon passed away June 24 and will be added to the Reflection Bridge Memorial.

The Running4Life mission is to help children and their families facing life-threatening illnesses. Originally created in honor of Ellie Herdman, a young lady from Mechanicsburg diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at the age of 15, more than $100,000 has been provided to more than 30 local families dealing with expenses associated with such illnesses.

Many fund recipients participate in the race. Running4Life expressed appreciation for the many donors, sponsors, those willing to give of their time and race participants.
