A fun run in Midland Park Sunday morning raised funds for the critical need for research for Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

Tara Kuiper, a mother of two, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2020 at the age of 38, started the event with the hope of finding a cure.

This year, the event has raised almost $54,000 in donations. To make a donation and to learn more about the need for Stage 4 research, visit Metavivor website.

News 12's Ali Reid was there for the festivities.
