HORNER HUSTLE
Make Your Miles Matter in honor of Mike Horner
The Horner Hustle is back for its seventh year, raising money for Project Purple. Join friends, family, neighbors, and strangers on August 17, 2024 for a fun 5K run or 1-mile walk to raise money for a world without pancreatic cancer.
Named for Mike Horner, who lived in Edison Park with his wife, Heather, and daughter Mary Helen, and was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in December 2015, the Horner Hustle is a fun run/walk, designed to bring the community together. Mike believed in the power of community, and the Horner Hustle has raised over $150,000 for Project Purple, demonstrating just how powerful community can be!
The Horner, Dunne, Balducci, and Pietryla families partner again with Project Purple to host the 5K at Centennial Park, or virtually from anywhere, raising funds for early detection and a cure for pancreatic cancer in Mike's honor.
How does it work?
1. Register for either the in-person or virtual version of the event. Create a team and invite your friends and family to join you.
2. On August 17th, walk 1 mile or run a 5k. You can participate in-person at Centennial Park or virtually from home.
3. Wear your custom bib, take and post pictures and videos to social media using #hornerhustle2024, #projectpurple, and tag @projectpurple. Also, post pictures to the 2024 Horner Hustle photo gallery.
All proceeds from this event will benefit Project Purple and their mission of a world without pancreatic cancer. Learn more about Project Purple at www.projectpurple.org.
