CATHY'S STORY

Cathy's journey with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma began in Feb 1996, six years before her official diagnosis. In

1996, she raised $3200 for LLS, possibly sensing her future battle. In Nov 2011, she developed symptoms and

underwent treatment at Cleveland Clinic from 2012 to 2013, managing chemo and hair loss. She never

complained and continued to work full time and teaching reading to underprivileged children one day a week

during her scheduled lunch. And she continued to run at least 20 to 30 miles per week.

In Dec 2013, Cathy opted for an aggressive bone cell transplant. Despite the three-week sterile procedure, she

remained active, walking the halls, spreading smiles, and resumed work and her normal physical activities, which

included running, hiking, water aerobics, and yoga,post-release.

2014 brought ups and downs. Although she did not receive any further chemo, she required periodic scans and

remained on medication for her lymphoma. Her attitude was great and Cathy managed a trip to New Hampshire,

where she hiked to the top of Mount Washington. In the fall she hiked Sedona and the Grand Canyon.

In 2018, a scan revealed aggressive lymphoma B-cells, leading to a CART T Cell procedure in Columbus for three

weeks. Cathy's resilience was evident as she exercised daily, read books, and attended events during recovery.

2019 to July 2023 involved emotional roller coasters with drug trials and chemotherapy, leading to hospital

stays. Cathy's unwavering faith, commitment to Mass, and plans for future activities showcased her courage.

Her greatest hope was to witness her eldest granddaughter’s wedding day someday.

Despite her challenging "fight," Cathy embraced life, served others, and raised thousands of dollars for LLS to

help other people. Sadly Cathy lost her fight and she symbolically transitioned from bearing her "cross" to

wearing her "crown."

The Tom Schreiber Memorial 5K and 1 Mile celebrates Tom's lasting impact on the lives he touched. Tom served as the track and cross-country coach for over twenty years, first at Alliance High School (Alliance, OH) and then at Valley Forge High School in Parma Heights, Ohio. The proceeds from this event will be used to create a scholarship in Tom's name and be awarded to a senior track or cross-country runner from the Parma City School District.

The 5K and 1-mile events will each be chip-timed. Runners and walkers of all levels are welcome to participate. You can register for both distances, and your times will be combined to determine rankings for the combo category. The 5K course will feature split points at every mile and live participant tracking via The Last Mile mobile APP. The 1-mile course features a split at the half-mile mark. All runners will be treated to ice cream at the finish line - Tom's absolute favorite food!
