development representative Andrea Ridner passed away due to breast cancer at just 48 years old .
And this year , the dealership is running to honor a woman named Morgan Hall , who is a friend of dealership Director of Operations Trey Blakley .
“ We ’ ve all had loved ones suffer through it , and we understand as much as we can if it ’ s not happened to us how tough it is ,” Gover said of breast cancer . “ And it ’ s just one day we can set aside to give that encouragement and show them support and just have them know that they ’ re not fighting alone .”
All the proceeds go to help the American Cancer Society , Gover said . “ To date – not counting what this race will bring in – we ’ re at $ 22,975.12 .” That money will specifically go towards breast cancer research and awareness , he said .
It will feature both running and competitive walking competitions for those who are looking to beat their best times .
But , Gover pointed out , it also caters to those who just want to walk or lightly jog through what can be considered a demanding course .
