Motherwalk set for Mother’s Day Eve

A sea of teal will descend upon Crestline Village on the day before Mother’s Day as a part of an annual event to honor mothers and ovarian cancer survivors.

The Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer Foundation will hold its 11th Annual Motherwalk and 5K on Saturday, May 10, at 9 a.m. The fun run begins at 10 a.m.

The community-wide event, held in Crestline Village in the grass lot across from the Emmet O’Neal Library, includes music, food and entertainment for kids. Leashed dogs are welcome to the event. The public is invited to these festivities regardless of if they are running or walking.

The awards ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. All children will receive a medal as well as first, second and third place for each age group. Awards will also be given to the teams with the most members, best costumes and more.

On race day, the 5K is $35, and the Fun Run is $35 for adults and $20 for kids.

On the day before the event, May 9, a Newsaroo kickoff party will be held from 7-10:30 p.m. at Avondale Brewery with packet pickup starting there at 5 p.m.

The foundation was started by Lori Livingston in 2004 after she lost her mother, Norma Livingston, to ovarian cancer. The NLOCF hopes to increase awareness of the risks, symptoms and treatments for ovarian cancer while raising funds for ovarian cancer research.
