Hey Relay friends! As many of you (hopefully) know, we had our Fight Cancer 5k last week which was a HUGE success. We decided to spotlight Anna Cooper and Patrick Salas who were both the girl and guy winners of the race and completely killed it! So first off meet Anna Cooper, who is a member of the Publicity Committee and actually just ran the Charlottesville half-marathon (and placed second #casual). Then meet Patrick who was actually visiting his sister at UVA and decided to take part in the 5k!
