A group of community minded individuals decided to combine their love of fitness and the outdoors with a 
passion for helping others with the first annual From The Heart Half Marathon and 5k Run/Walk. The race will take place the first Saturday in May and proceeds will be dedicated to help a local family that is currently faced with a difficult battle with cancer.
Lisa Hilstad was diagnosed with breast cancer about one year ago, and unfortunately it has spread rather 
aggressively. She has three children at home and continues to be actively involved in every facet of her children's lives. In spite of all the incredibly difficult treatments, Lisa has maintained a positive attitude and her strong spirit shines on.
I hope this first annual even will be tremendously successful. It's a terrific example of how a community can come together to reach out to a family in need of support and encouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hilstad family. I hope they'll be able to create wonderful family memories for many more years to come.
