Students Push Themselves Training for Irish Jig Race to Support 'Awesome' Assistant Principal Battling Colon Cancer
Article by Sue Thoms mlive
When Tim Hollern’s sister-in-law began organizing a team of runners for the Irish Jig to honor his battle with colon cancer, he expected a couple dozen family members would respond to the call.
Hollern, a 36-year-old assistant principal at Forest Hills Eastern High School, clearly underestimated his support.
More than 100 friends and family members plan to run in Saturday’s race as part of Team Tim, including a dozen special education students who have been training for six weeks to make the 5-kilometer run. The team has sold more than 200 T-shirts to raise money for Spectrum Health’s fund for colorectal cancer research and patient care.
