  In August of 2022, we lost Sam Scherer to an aggressive form of cancer called cholangiocarcinoma. Sam's endless positive energy and appreciation for life shined bright throughout his time with us. He loved his family, friends and community. His boisterous laugh and passion for fun were evident with every step of his so-called "thunderous calves". He loved bringing people together and we are thrilled to honor him with this second annual Family Walk & Runv .

  This no pressure, family friendly event is for all ages. Strollers, wagons and carriers are welcome and encouraged. Whether you intend to make it one lap (.6 mi) or the full 5 (3.1 mi aka 5K) around Shrewsbury's Wehner park, the end goal is to come together for a day of fun and fitness. Any and all participation is encouraged. Sprint to the finish line or hang out on a nearby playground to cheer on your loved ones.

  All proceeds will be going to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF). Founded in 2006, the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF) is a global 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to find a cure and improve the quality of life for those affected by bile duct cancer. CCF supports basic & translational research and raises awareness in the cholangiocarcinoma community through advocacy, education, collaboration, and research. For more information about cholangiocarcinoma and CCF, please visit - https://cholangiocarcinoma.org/
