MARC 4th Annual Fundraiser
Thanks to all those who made this year's fundraiser a great success!
MARC Runs for the Howard Conway Fund For the third consecutive year on May 3, 2009, the Major Artery Revitalization Committee (MARC) races to find a cure for cancer in the 30th annual Broad Street Run. This year we are raising funds for a local father who died five weeks after being diagnosed with colon cancer.

Howard P. Conway, a determined man who battled emphysema for over a decade, was diagnosed with colon cancer on January 1, 2009. Unfortunately, after a short but valiant fight, he succumbed to the disease on February 7, 2009. MARC is proud to create a fund in memory of Howard Conway as we work towards raising colon cancer awareness. The Conway family has chosen Fox Chase Cancer Center, where Howard was undergoing treatment, to be the recipient of our fundraising efforts this year.

Donations can be made to:

Howard Conway Memorial Fund
PO Box 8904
Philadelphia, PA 19135
Please make all checks payable to the Howard Conway Fund

To run with MARC and help raise money for the Howard Conway Memorial Fund, call Chris Creelman at 215-852-2068 or John Byrne at 267-252-5858.
