Five Star Painting of North Shore Boston Sponsored a Benefit Race
Through torrential downpours and high-winds, die-hard runners and walkers prepared to participate in the North Shore 30K to benefit Neurofibromatosis scheduled on March 14, 2010. This benefit was sponsored by Five Star Painting of North Shore in Boston, Massachusetts. With over 100 participants, the relay teams and walkers did a 15K course, while the majority of runners ran the same course twice totaling 30K.
The weather was far from perfect – course markers and signs were blown away, traffic cones were knocked over, puddles were knee-high, and water cups were filling on their own. While it was cold and windy, the participants remained strong and remembered what the race was for – serving those with Neurofibromatosis. This disorder is genetically-inherited in which the nerve tissue grows tumors that may be harmless or may cause serious damage by compressing nerves and other tissues.
Steve Oransky and Carmelina Procaccini of Five Star Painting were happy to lend a hand in sponsoring the fundraiser for such an important event. Participants and volunteers proved that if they set their mind on a goal, they can accomplish it. This will be one race that they will remember for a long time.
