PORT BYRON, IL - The Nick Teddy Foundation is pleased to announce First Wealth Financial Group, of Clinton, IA, as the presenting 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.!
First Wealth Financial Group Founder Breton Williams has known the Strub family for several years. Their relationship and the experience they went through has touched Breton deeply. "First Wealth is very excited to be involved with such a great cause and foundation," Williams said.
