Running group presents check to cancer support group

BYRAM - Robert Davidson, Founder and president of the Salt Shakers Trail Running Club recently presented a check in the amount of $11,695 to Mare Galeos, Founder and President of the Sussex County Women's Forum, a Lafayette, NJ based early detection, free mammogram program.
The check was presented on Sunday, Oct. 19 at the Annual Hot Chili 8 Mile Trail Challenge Race held at Kittatinny State Park. The race was sponsored by the SCWF.
The Salt Shakers, a group of about 70 active trail runners, worked all year volunteering and running miles to help raise funds for the organization.
Sussex County Women’s Forum (SCWF) is a 501C (3) non-profit organization dedicated to assisting women and their families whose lives are impacted by a cancer diagnosis. The SCWF strives to provide early detection services, support and resources to the women of Sussex and surrounding counties.
SCWF is a small grassroots organization that has virtually no overhead with 99.5 percent of all funds raised going directly to the women in need.
The Salt Shakers running group has raised over $25,000 for SCWF over the past five years.
When asked how the group would top the amount raised in 2014, Davidson said, "it will take just a small amount of work from a whole lot of people. As our group grows and knowledge of what we do and what the SCWF does grows, we hope to draw from more and more people."
