| 7th Annual Melvin J Fisher Hills and Hollows Half Marathon, 5K Run / Walk / Wheelchair Event |
|
|
| Melvin J. Fisher was a volunteer firefighter for 30 years in the community of Valmeyer, IL. He promoted fire safety throughout the community and the surrounding regions. The training that Melvin received at fire training classes was passed on to his fellow firefighters that he worked with in the region. Continued education for the fire department members was a goal of Melvin's. This event is in memory of Melvin J. Fisher, who lost his battle to cancer. The Valmeyer Active Firemen's Association and Backstoppers will recieve the proceeds of this event sponsored by the Hills and Hollows Road Runners Club of America. Started in 1959, The BackStoppers provides needed support and financial assistance to the spouses and children of all local and county police officers, firefighters, publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs and volunteer fire protection units, who have lost their lives performing their duty.
Step forward and make a difference. Help the Volunteers be prepared when the call comes for them to help you. |
