2025 Run – Julia Rusinek Memorial Fund

On April 27, 2025 we celebrated Julia’s life for the 26th year since her death. For many of us it was an annual reunion, for others -- a discovery. Edgewood park was filled with runners, their families and friends, people of all ages. LEAP’s staff and counselors were everywhere, working together with Marty Schaivone, the run organizer.

Eliana efficiently coordinated LEAP’s volunteers and food tables. Melissa was in charge of publicity. Donna, after working at registration table, lead the kids in a spirited warmup. Our dear friends and family: Judith, Abby, Lucyna and Julia ran the registration and distributed T-shirts. Victor and Melissa were taking photos. DJ Nelson enhanced the festive ambiance by filling the air with music. Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Centers offered onsite massages and stretching. Snacks were donated by Jonathan Edwards College of Yale University and many local businesses.

The race, timed by Austin from The Last Mile Racing, was completed by 101 runners. The overall winner, Omar Radwan, crossed the finish line in 20 min 01 sec. Meghan Delaney was the first woman finisher (24:01). After age adjusting, the best performing runners were Philip O'Connor (M) and Carole Goldberg (F). Marty and Julia Sobel ran the awards ceremony. This year our proceeds to LEAP totaled $20,000.
