2020 Virtual SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon Raises $77,000 for the NCF
IONIC's Andre Dumais, NCF's Anthony Keating and SudburyROCKS!!! Vince Perdue
With your help the 2020 Virtual SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon Raised $77,000 for the Northern Cancer Foundation!
As you and 700 other participants hit the streets on Sunday, October 25th by running and walking all over the province (and sprinkled throughout the world), $77,000 was raised for the Northern Cancer Foundation (NCF).
This year presented a number of challenges to our annual race such as the change of date and decision to go virtual, but the biggest hurdle came with the loss of SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon co-founder Steve Matusch to cancer on March 11th. Steve was the visionary behind the race and was an inspiration to all runners and walkers of the event. This year, SudburyROCKS!!! and the NCF adopted the hashtag #RunningforSteve in his memory.
“This year has been a great success, but it has also been very difficult,” said Vince Perdue, co-founder of SudburyROCKS!!! and close friend to Steve. “It’s definitely a bittersweet moment. We’re so proud of what we were able to accomplish with SudburyROCKS!!! this year, but not having Steve with us to see it and run the race is just so different. I know he would be proud of what we have achieved and of this donation to local cancer care.”
“We are grateful to the many runners, donors and community partners for coming together to make the virtual SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon a success,” says Anthony Keating, President & CDO of Foundations and Volunteer Groups at HSN. “Scrolling through the numerous posts on social media, it is clear how special this event is. We are proud to be supported by the SudburyROCKS!!! community.”
