Steve’s Run guest speaker Danny Sledge, who retired from a higher education career that included Kalamazoo College dean of students, knows it’s rare for a man to experience breast cancer.
“It’s rare unless it’s you,” Sledge said of the 2,600 men it strikes, or 1.3 in 100,000. “Then it’s real.”
Sledge will share his story at the 44th running of Steve’s Run on Saturday, July 28, 2018 on Southwestern Michigan College’s Dowagiac campus (Rural Community College's campus) to benefit cancer research and the Steven Briegel Scholarship Fund.
The 10K run, 5K run/walk and fun run start at 8:30 a.m. in front of the David C. Briegel Building, named for Steve’s father, SMC’s fifth president from 1981-1998. SMC and Fifth Third Bank are the premier sponsors. Steve, who died March 1, 1990, at 22 after a 5 ½-year battle, graduated fifth in the Dowagiac Union High School Class of 1986, from SMC in 1988 and was a junior in Ferris State’s SMC program. He participated in golf, band and basketball for the Chieftains. Visit stevesrun.swmich.edu to register.
