All of the proceeds this year benefit cancer treatment for Steve Hall, a 1988 Wayne Trace graduate, who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer this past August. Steve currently lives with his wife, Kellie, and two children, Eli and Emma, in Columbus where he teaches at Grandview Heights and coaches varsity boys’ basketball. The Hall family was at this event, seeing how much the community supports them.

Thank you goes to all the participants who made this super. The NHS and the organizers deserve and even bigger thank you for all of their hard work, making this a community event not to be quickly forgotten.
