Description
In 2010, O'Connell's Run was started in honor of Emmett OConnell, a pediatric Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patient who is treated at St. Josephs Childrens Hospital in Paterson, NJ. Now in its forth year, we are proud to stand with so many other CF children & their families who also receive treatment at The Cystic Fibrosis Center at St. Josephs Childrens Hospital. All race proceeds go to the hospital.
