Love in Action 5K Run/Walk
OCTOBER 12, 2024 8:30AM Kids Fun Run 9AM 5K Start - Rain or Shine Venetian Shores Park, Lindenhurst NY
To benefit The McGarry "Love in Action" Foundation
BENEFICIARY
The McGarry “Love in Action” Foundation, Inc. was created in honor of my amazing parents, Kris, and Joe McGarry. They were foster parents in Nassau County for over thirty years, taking in countless foster children into their home. During that time, it became clear to them that the system was not preparing these foster children for success after they aged out of foster care. We seek to change that. We seek to raise awareness and funds to set up these young adults for a life that they can look forward to and where they can be successful in whatever endeavor they set out to do. Our foundation also seeks to provide financial support to families that are going through the hardship of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Both of my parents passed away from cancer, and we experienced the time and the financial demands of such a diagnosis. We seek to ease such burdens so that families can spend quality time with their loved ones and take care of what’s important. My father was a former Marine and retired NYPD Officer, and he understood the importance of never leaving anyone behind as he provided a tremendous amount of support to his fellow police officers suffering from illnesses caused by their time at Ground Zero. It was his time at Ground Zero that would eventually take his life some 2 decades later. We would like to continue that work through our foundation.
