This year the Sunflower Striders Running Club will partnering with the Washburn University Foundation to honor Professor Dave Provorse and his wife, Marcia Provorse, who were killed in a tragic accident. Dave and Marcia lived their lives to the fullest and always wanted to promote the importance of health and wellness of others in so many ways.  Come out to celebrate their lives!
