Huskies participate in Brian Honan 5K Walk/Run
Sept. 22, 2009
Boston, Mass.

The Northeastern women's basketball team participated in the Sixth Annual Brian J. Honan 5K Walk/Run on Sunday, September 20. The event commemorates the life of Brian Honan, a former Boston City Councilor who lost his battle to cancer in 2002. Money raised for the event benefited the scholarship funds of the Allston Board of Trade and the Brighton Board of Trade as well as the Brian Honan Family Charitable Fund.

The Huskies have volunteered at the event in previous years, but this year decided to participate in honor of assistant coach Bill Carpenter's struggle with esophageal cancer. In light of Carpenter's recent diagnosis, the team will dedicate the 2009-10 season to him. The Huskies have adopted the slogan "Winners Just Respond," a favorite saying of Carpenter's when motivating the team.

The event is the first of many the Huskies will participate in to support those who fight cancer and for those who work to find the cure.
