This annual family event is held in memory of Nicholas Theodore Strub, a native of Port Byron, Ill., a 2000 graduate of Riverdale High School, and a 2004 Alumnus of Iowa State University in
Ames, Iowa. Nick fought a courageous battle against the pediatric cancer, Ewing's sarcoma, for more than 5 years, until he died at age 29. In three years, the Nick Teddy 5k has raised over $62,000. Proceeds benefit medical research into Ewing's sarcoma, and help local patients and their families affected by the disease. Several area children and adults currently are affected, and have received assistance to defray costs of travel and lodging during treatment.
Photos and interviews are available for 5k preview stories.
