She inspired many by running 5K road races, even throughout her treatments. Fight Hard 5K is a non-profit group with all net proceeds to benefit the Dean Snell Cancer Foundation. The mission of the Dean Snell Cancer Foundation is to provide financial assistance to cancer patients at the New England Cancer Specialists in Topsham.
