Downingtown, PA – May 18, 2005 – Tammy Reid, wife of
Eagles’ Head Coach Andy Reid, and Fox 29’s Jennaphr
Frederick rode in a Pennmark Auto Mercedes Benz pace car
on April 30 to lead more than 225 runners and walkers in
the Mommy’s Light 5K Race and 1 Mile Walk Sponsored by
Kensey Nash. Matt Sandercock, 36, and Deirdre Brill, 27,
respectively, were the top overall male and female
winners. Sponsors, runners, walkers and tot trot
participants helped raise more than $23,000 for Mommy’s
Light, a Delaware Valley - based non-profit organization
that brings joy and comfort to children and teens whose
mothers are in life-threatening situations or are
deceased. Visit

“Tammy Reid and Jennaphr Frederick were wonderful Grand
Marshals,” said Hillary Delone, Race Founder and
Downingtown, PA resident. “This was a terrific community
event. The Downingtown East High School Cheerleaders and
Boy Scout Troop #79 did a fantastic job of cheering on
all the race participants. The 5th Grade Class at
Shamona Creek Elementary School and St. Norbert CYO did
a phenomenal job of raising more than $2,500 by walking
in the race!”
When Hillary DeLone was diagnosed with stage-two breast
cancer in January 2004, she knew she was in for the
fight of her life. With the support of her loving
husband and children, she is cancer free. Determined to
help other families that may not have been as fortunate,
she decided to put her energy into organizing the 5K
run/walk for Mommy’s Light. Currently, Mommy's Light's
free services are available to more than 20,000
maternally bereaved children and teens living in
southeastern PA, parts of southern NJ and northern DE.
