Last year, 2011 Walk to Win and 5K Run

April 9, 2011 the 3^rd annual Adam Spector Hodgkin’s Research Walk/5k Run to Win was held once again at Harriton High School in Rosemont, PA. Harriton High School is significant as Adam was his class valedictorian in 1999. Whole Foods is a major sponsor who provided the attendees with wonderful refreshments. Dawn Timmeney, NBC10 news personality was the emcee for the event. She brought her enthusiastic spirit to the morning. Prizes were awarded to top runners in age and gender groups. Gift certificates to top Philadelphia restaurants along to area sporting good stores as well as sports tickets were awarded. Tickets for an IPad , box seats to Phillies games and a vintage autographed tee shirt from the Flyers were sold and happily won by the lucky ones!

For those who wanted to stretch before the run and walk, Georgette DuBois, was there to instruct those who wanted to prepare themselves.

It was a very successful event with approximately 500 attendees who helped to raise $40,000 to The Adam R. Spector Foundation for Hodgkin’s Research.

Adam was born on September 15, 1981 to Lynn and Lane Spector. He was a precocious child always stimulating his mind with various games and toys. This was a harbinger into his future as a very accomplished and successful student throughout his schooling. He became valedictorian in his high school class. This was due to his immense intellectual and very highly competitive nature. He carried these traits to the college where he received a communications degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a finance degree from the prestigious Wharton Business School. He graduated in the top of his class at Wharton. As a product of his success, Adam worked for JPMorgan’s private banking division where he excelled as an analyst.

Besides his very intelligent demeanor, Adam also demonstrated a compassionate and caring side. He deeply cared about his family and friends. During his bout with cancer, he was very upbeat and inspirational to everyone he met. He was a hero whose story motivated the participants in the Team and Training division for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Adam was an avid sports fan of all Philadelphia teams.
