The Marymount 5K is part of the university’s annual Remembrance
Day, which began in 2006 when several classmates of Tara Howard gathered for a
service project in her memory. Howard, known for her work with the homeless,
the elderly and abused women, died in a car accident her freshman year. The day
includes reflections for all deceased members of the Marymount community.
The race is April 22, and runners will have opportunities to
participate in a wide range of service projects from planting vegetables in a
community garden to packing lunches for A-SPAN, a program working to end
homelessness in Arlington.
The event is co-hosted by MU’s Doctor of Physical Therapy
Program, Marymount’s Wellness Committee and the Student Government Association.
Proceeds will go toward the PT Department’s annual service-learning trip to
Costa Rica and the Foundation for Physical Therapy.
