Thomas G. Labrecque believed that together we can accomplish anything. Join us as we "run as one" to build awareness and raise money for lung cancer research. Whether or not you run, you can make a donation to support lung cancer research. The TGL Foundation has also introduced their new fundraising program, allowing race registrants to fundraise in teams or as an individual for a good cause. For more information, please visit www.tglclassic.com.
