A few sprinkles on Saturday
morning didn't hinder those who came out for the third annual Moving Forward
5K Run/Walk. It was still a beautiful fall morning to get some exercise,
with pleasant temperatures in the 60s and no wind. |
The activity, hosted by Abraham
Lincoln Healthcare Foundation and Memorial SportsCare at ALMH, took
place in beautiful Edward Madigan State Park a few miles south of
Lincoln and drew a little over 170 participants.
Before the primary event, there was
a dash for kids 10 and under.
All finishers of the chip-timed 5K
were given medals, and prizes were awarded in male and female
groups: overall, 60 and over, 11 and under, and stroller.
Marty Ahrends, executive director
of the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation, and Todd Mourning,
D.P.T., physical therapist and manager of rehab services, welcomed
participants, saying: "Our mission is to improve the health of the
people and communities we serve, and what better way than through
exercise."

Ahrends extended a big thank-you to
all the sponsors. The run/walk is a fundraiser. Proceeds would be
used to support local wellness programs.
