The Eighth Annual 5K Run & Walk, held in Port Orange, on
Sunday, Sept. 20, was a resounding success again this year with
more than 800 runners and walkers participating. Proceeds
from the annual event help fund the organization’s Family
Caregiver Program. The program is designed to provide additional
support to family caregivers including much needed
respite care. More than 20 students, staff and family members
represented Palmer’s Florida Campus in the event.
“The 5K Run and Walk has grown from 100 entrants to over
800 this year, remarkable growth in just a few short years,”
said Johnnie Carrow-Nelson, event coordinator for Halifax
Health Hospice of Volusia/Flagler. The generous support of
organizations such as Palmer College allows us to help those
who care for their dying loved ones. Thank you for your caring
and kindness.”
