The Second Annual Race: August 20, 2016

Last August 2015 a group of people pulled together this race in memory of our dear friend, Jill. It was a great success! We raised enough money to send $2,500.00 to the Brain Anuerysm Foundation and to also create several scholarships to benefit deserving students at Attica Central High School, where Jill attended. We are so excited to organize this event and hold the 2nd Annual 5/10K. Please join us!

 

A little more about Jill...

 

Jill Marie Kirby Conley was born on January 16, 1972 and departed this earth, June 30, 2014. Jill was affected by a brain aneurysm. Jill is so loved by so many, most importantly her beloved husband, Kevin Conley and two beautiful children, Hayden and Stella.

 

Jill was an amazing person, genuine and kind and determined in a quiet, yet forceful way. She always enjoyed life and had a wonderful sense of humor. 

 

Jill was an athletic trainer by career and a runner as a hobby and many of us who knew her thought this was a befitting way to keep her memory alive. We know she will be smiling down and cheering us on from her heavenly home.

 

Please consider running with us to support a scholarship fund in her name at Attica Central School in Attica, New York where Jill grew up with her two sisters, Ann Tambe and Susan Spiotta. Her father Ed Kirby still resides in our quaint, special, little village. Jill was predeceased by her mother Mary Ann. Funds raised through this race will also benefit the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. The Brain Aneurysm Foundation is the nation’s only nonprofit organization solely dedicated to providing critical awareness, education, support and research funding to reduce the incidence of brain aneurysm ruptures. 

 

The race is designed with a professionally timed 5K and 10K route, managed by Score This! There will be a 3K walk friendly route for those of you who would like to participate in that way.

 

The more the merrier as we honor Jill.
