News for You!
Chad Tough Fun Run
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. On Saturday, September 29th, The ChadTough Foundation will once again host RunTough for ChadTough 5K, and 1M Fun Run to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children, and brain cancer is the most fatal. Every kid deserves to survive cancer, so The ChadTough Foundation is committed to funding research until a cure is found!
The race will begin at Hornet Stadium with the Opening Ceremony starting around 8:30 AM. There will be photo opportunities with former UM football coach, Lloyd Carr; former Detroit Tigers 3rd Baseman, Brandon Inge; and The Voice finalist, Laith Al-Saadi (who will also sing the National Anthem). Some of your favorite U-M and Saline athletes will be cheering runners along the course. And there will be a FREE Family Fun Zone including cupcakes and other goodies to help celebrate Chad’s birthday.
