Runners “Scare Away Cancer” 6 Years In A Row

ROCHESTER – The 6th Annual Scare Away Brain Cancer 5k took place this past Saturday, October 25 at East Rochester High School.

The race was won by Zach Rivers of Victor, NY, in a time of 15:54. Christa Meyer of Fairport won the women’s race in a time of 17:41.

The race, which boasted over 850 finishers, was put together to benefit Coneseus local Tobi O’Duffy.

O’Duffy, who has a loving husband, two daughters and a son, suffers from brain cancer. The race helps to offset medical costs for the family, and allows for a donation. The donation helps to fund brain cancer research.

The race now serves a dual purpose, after a local police officer, Daryl Pierson was shot Wednesday, September 3 2014. For every person registered, 1 dollar was donated to Amy Pierson, Daryl’s wife. She and her 2 children are residents of East Rochester.

Full Results for the race can be found HERE.
