Led by WOAMTEC Executive Director Jennifer Lee, the 5 member team included Wanda Ivonne Gutierrez, Jean Bruckert, Mary Lou Caskey and husband Keith Caskey. The team walked the 5K course around the University of Central Florida campus in just under an hour and somehow they picked up a 6th participant at the very end. “Little Evan helped us cross the finish line, he was so excited for every team”, stated Lee.
Total money raised by the walkers and the other chapter members was just over $700.
