Background:              Mommy’s Light’s mission is to bring joy and comfort to children and teens whose mothers are terminally ill or have died by helping them keep alive traditions and simple pleasures they shared with their mothers.  The 5K Run/Walk was established in 2005 by Hillary DeLone of Downingtown, who decided to help grieving children after winning her own battle with cancer.

      Fox News Anchor Jennaphr Frederick hosts the festivities, which include prizes, t-shirts, complimentary hot breakfast and refreshments for participants.  Registration is available online at www.active.com or on site, entry forms at www.mommyslight.org.  Cash prizes for the top three male/female 5K finishers; awards for the top three male/female 5K finishers by age group.  Food will be available.  All proceeds benefit Mommy’s Light Lives On Fund.

Kensey Nash Corporation is the presenting sponsor, and is joined by more than 45 area companies and individuals in sponsoring the event, including Glenwood Mason Supply Company, Inc., The Hankin Group and MC3.
