JULIE VIOLA 5K RUN – August 13, 2022
Laura Viola Towey appeared via telephone to discuss her proposal – a 5K run in dedication to her late sister Julie Viola. Julie Viola, at the age of 33, was diagnosed with a rare salivary gland cancer. Unfortunately, in November of 2016 Julie Viola passed away. Julie Viola was an inspiration for many, she raised tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research by participating in walks, runs, and events. Throughout her battle with cancer, Julie carefully documented and participated in clinical trials, often as the only participant. Because of this fact Julie Viola has been written up in worldwide medical journals having made breakthroughs in cancer treatments.
Further, Julie was an avid runner and an elementary school teacher at PS 100 in Ozone Park, Queens, where she taught kindergarten through 3rd grade for 20 years. For these reasons, Julie Viola’s family wants to dedicate a 5K run to benefit Munsey Park Elementary School.
