As reported by The Herald-Palladium

If someone you know is aging, seriously ill, dying or grieving, they can turn to Agrace for support. A local, nonprofit, community-supported health care organization, Agrace is well-known for its compassionate hospice care, palliative care and grief support throughout southern Wisconsin.

To help ensure all area residents have access to its services, Agrace is holding its ‘Race for Agrace’ fundraiser in Janesville on Saturday, October 18. The family-friendly event includes a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile walk, and strollers are welcome on the course. The race begins at 9 a.m. at Palmer Park in Janesville.

All who participate receive a Race for Agrace water bottle. Bibs will be provided to those who sign up for the in-person 5K run/walk. The cost to attend is $25 per person.

Race participants and sponsors of this event will be helping Agrace care for patients and families throughout southern Wisconsin—including people who need Agrace’s care but have no way to pay for it. All race proceeds benefit Agrace programs and services, including Care for All (charitable care) and community grief support.
