Interesting People: Kristin Zimmerman – Light The Night

I will be at this year’s Light the Night walk at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium on October 28th. LtN Campaign Manager Kristin Zimmerman gave me a rundown of the walk, the research it has funded, and why I am going tear up when I see white lanterns. I also love their motto! “When we walk, cancer runs.”

Downtown Frederick will be wonderful that night!

Registration opens at 5:00 PM
Opening ceremony at 6:30 PM
Walk – Loop to Market and back to Keys Stadium.
