Lilia Vazquez The Houston running community suffered a great loss this week. ALRC member and friend to many, Lilia Vazquez,
was killed by a hit and run driver while doing the thing that she
loved - running. On behalf of all in BCRR we extend our sincere
condolences to her family and friends. Lilia was well known in the
community and her loss will be greatly felt. A
Celebration of Life organized by the running community will be held
this Thursday, Dec. 18th, 6PM at Memorial Park North Lakeside Pavilion
(near food trucks) A Go-Fund Me Fundraiser has been organized to help the family with expenses at this time. If you wish to give, the link is HERE. In addition, Brenda Gonzalez has organized a Mealtrain to help Lilia's family with meals during this time. Events
like this remind us how fleeting life can be, how we need to hold our
loved ones close. Please be careful out there running! |
