Kristy Nolan Keen, 29, was diagnosed with stage 4 acute leukemia on May 3, 2012, and lives in Panama City Beach, Florida. Several within the Godby alumni community have assisted Kristy in establishing the The Kristy Nolan Leukemia Foundation, "A place where we can connect to share ideas, resources, prayers & anything we can to help Kristy through this battle!"
Kristy has a four-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son, and is expecting a bone marrow transplant in coming weeks. The Foundation is hosting a 5k Walk/Run benefit fundraiser for her at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach on Saturday, August 25, on Clara Avenue near Emerald Lake Drive. Registration begins at 7:30 am. The Fun Run starts at 8:00 am and 5k begins at 8:15 am, all Central Times. There will be a party afterward and a silent auction featuring, among other items, package deals from four resorts. Make a day of it if you would like to join Kristy's fight.
All event details and preregistration are here. Online registration is $10 for the Fun Run and $25 for the 5k. Registration for the 5k is $30 in person on the day of the race. All proceeds go to the Kristy Nolan Leukemia Foundation.
Whether or not you can attend the festivities, please visit Kristy's Journal if you would like to read about her struggle or contribute.
Thanks to Debbie Blackwood Crayton, Class of 1984, who serves on the Foundation's board of directors, and to Cathy Rolison, Class of 1983, for bringing this to our attention.
Best wishes to Kristy Nolan Keen and her family.
