All proceeds benefit Ewings Sarcoma research being done at Georgetown University Hospital. Ewings Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer, took the life of Cranford High School teen Colin Maher, who was part of a close-knit neighborhood on Retford Ave. His friends there started a nonprofit to fund researchers looking for a cure to this cancer. Although considered rare, Ewings also claimed young Cranford resident Alessandra LoConte and nearby Clark resident Tylor Collins over the last few years.
Friends of Colin is a 501c3 that also runs the Turkey Trot in November at Unami Park. For more information, e-mail info@friendsofcolin.org.
