PORT BYRON, IL - PORT BYRON, IL - The Nick Teddy Foundation is pleased to announce Exelon Generation, of Cordova, IL, as a sponsor of the 2014 "Nick Teddy 5K." The event will take place on Sept. 13, 2014, beginning at 9:00 AM.! !
The "Nick Teddy 5k" is held in memory of 29-year old Port Byron native Nick Strub, who fought a courageous battle against Ewing's sarcoma for more than 5-years. The NT5k is a family-focus event, and offers a fun day for hundreds of participants and their families. Last year's event raised $25,000 to fund research through the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative, and to help defray travel and lodging expenses during treatment for a local Ewing's patient and her family.!
Exelon has been a sponsor of the Nick Teddy 5k since the Nick Teddy Foundation's first event in 2012.
