Law firm participates in Liz Hurley Ribbon Run

The Stephens Millirons Law Firm in Huntsville is participating in the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run and they're excited to show support and raise awareness. The team has raised $680 to date and have recruited 33 participants.

They are running for a friend, a former employee of the firm who has battled chemotherapy and has had a double mastectomy this year and will be having surgery Wednesday to remove a tumor on her brain.

They will all have her in their hearts for the run. Also, a family member of an employee just found out that she was stage three with breast cancer.

Registration for the run is closed after the race reached its max 6,000 participants Friday. If you missed out on the registration, you can still support a runner or make a donation at this website.
