Restoring hope through the Apryle Showers 10k
Apryle Showers is a local non-profit dedicated to helping individuals with a cancer diagnosis between the ages of 30-55. They send those individuals away for recovery retreats to an ocean front location. Their largest fundraiser of the year in the Apryle Showers Run, Florida’s Fastest 10k on Sunday April 10th in Nocatee. It is their fifth anniversary and they are honoring one of their beneficiaries, Suzanne Parrish.
The race medals and bibs will be colored peach because Suzanne’s nickname is Peach or Peaches. Peach was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of 2021. Her past year was filled with surgery, treatments and Dr. visits all while balancing a full time job and family of 5. She finished her last radiation treatment last month and is thrilled to share her experience and what Apryle Showers did for her and her family.
By signing up for the 10k you’ll be helping more people like Peach. Come out for the race, the free kids fun run or simply come enjoy the runners village full of vendors, activities for kids, food trucks and great people out for a great cause.
