An 5K to honor and celebrate the life of a darling little girl named Lily will be taking place in Oxford. Friends and Family of the late Lily Brooks are hosting this run to honor and celebrate Lily's life. Lily was a beautiful, sparkly 3-year old little girl, a cherished daughter and an amazing big sister. She loved to explore the outdoors and sing and play.
Lily's Birthday Dash will be an event in which families can participate together, have fun and partake in activities that reflect Lily's active spirit and her love of the outdoors. Lily loved to dance and run, and ran her first official road race in May of 2013 in Oxford, Connecticut.
She is dearly missed by all who knew her. Lily died September 14, 2013 as a result of an automobile accident she was in with her Mom and brother when they were hit head on.
To honor her memory and her passion for learning, the proceeds from this race will benefit the Oxford Public Library. Lily participated in many of the children's activities and thrived in the nurturing environment of the library.
Lily's Birthday Dash will be held on July 19th in Oxford, at Lilly's Park. This event is in memory of Lily Ann Brooks. So far there are 301 registered runners, joggers, and walkers. If you like to volunteer please got to this website to sign up.
