Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice would like to give a special thank you and shout out to Cindy Reigstad, a teacher at the Helen Morgan School, coordinator of the annual mini-marathon called the Bull Dog Run and all the students who collected pledges for the marathon.
All 500 students in the school, fourth and fifth graders, took part in the event that raised more than $3,700 for the Joseph T. Quinlan Bereavement Center.
Julia Quinlan was on hand to thank the students and to help release butterflies in the school’s butterfly garden. The garden was established when the town lost an entire family except for one daughter in a car accident.
