If you're looking for a good workout and a worthwhile cause, then it's not too late to sign up for Teb's Troops 5k.
The Third Annual Teb's Troops' March on Melanoma Chicago 5K Sponsored by Stowell & Friedman, Ltd. will take place THIS SUNDAY, July 26th, adjacent to Soldier Field starting at 9:00 a.m.
Teb's Troops is a not-for-profit organization started after Tricia E. Black, or "teb" as she was known by her friends and family, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic melanoma. At the time of her diagnosis, teb was 29 years old and living in Indianapolis, Indiana with her husband, Michael, and 9-month-old son, Sam. Wanting to rally her "troops" during her war with cancer and desiring to make something positive come from the negative, teb asked her friends to help her design and sell a bracelet, the profits of which would go to organizations that support the treatment, prevention, and research of cancer, including melanoma.
Race-day registration will be available. Free skin screenings will be available to participants and volunteers, and two great speakers: Master of Ceremonies, Dina Bair and our Keynote Speaker, Miss Illinois 2009, Erin O'Connor.
