Net proceeds from the race are donated to the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans in Wheaton. There is also a pancake breakfast that raises funds for Cantigny Post 556 of the American Legion.
Bob Adams, President of the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, and Paul Herbert, Executive Director of the First Division Museum at Cantigny Park, joined us live during our ABC 7 Eyewitness News to tell us about the race and the great cause behind it.
Also, everyone is invited back to Cantigny on Veterans Day, November 11, 2013, for evening programs at the First Division Museum. They start at 5 p.m. and include a Luminary Tribute with more than 1,500 candles.
