Coach Atwell will run the 110 miles (an extra ten since it's the 10th anniversary of running the 100 miles on the track) in honor of his former student Maggie Walsh. Maggie was a sophomore in Coach Atwell's AP European History class twelve years ago, Maggie lost her father - Carl Walsh - to cancer. Since then Maggie has dedicated herself to working as hard as she can to help those suffering from this dreadful disease and to raising funds that will provide care and eventually find a cure. During her senior year of high school ten years ago, working as the ASB president, Maggie challenged Coach Atwell to run a 100 miles on the track to support her efforts with the American Cancer Society in a Relay For Life event. Coach Atwell managed to complete the run and has been running 100 miles on the track every year since then. Coach Atwell will begin his run at 7:00 pm on June 5 and end around 2:30 pm on June 6. The Teens For A Cure event will kick off with his final mile at 2:30 pm on June 6th, on the track. Members of the community are invited to be there for the final mile.
