Runners and walkers in the 12th
annual Bill Thomason 5K Memor
ial Run/Walk helped raise $9,000
Saturday for the American Cancer
Society (ACS).
There were 450 participants in
the race honoring Bill Thomason,
a Bryan citizen who died of cancer
in 1988.
Christian Galindo, event direc
tor, said a record amount of money
was raised Saturday.
‘‘Each year the race grows and
raises more money,” he said. "This
year was no different, with a net of
$9,000 raised for the American
Cancer Society. ”
Galindo said the race succeeded
in honoring Thomason.
“His friends and family mem
bers come out each year to re
member Bill,” he said. “Bill’s mem
ory in itself makes today a special
day. ”
Jennifer Peacock, an ACS repre
sentative, said every fundraising
event impacts finding a cure for
cancer. She said 21 percent of funds
raised for the ACS are spent on can
cer research.
According to the ACS Website,
the annual, national cost of cancer
is $107 billion. This includes $37
billion for direct medical costs, $11
billion for lost productivity due to
illness and $59 billion for lost pro
ductivity due to premature death.
The race was certified by the
USA TYack and Field Association
and the Runners Club of America
to officially recognize and record
