A 5k to raise money in an effort to take part in the Million Dollar Marathon to raise money for cancer research is being held in downtown Washington this Saturday. Angela Freese, a four-time cancer fighter is aiming to raise $7,500 to take part in the marathon this summer as part of the Above and Beyond Cancer group.

Runners can still register for the 5k in two days by registering prior to the event. The $25 entry fee will be accepted beginning at 8:30 Saturday with the 5k kicking off at 10 a.m. As of Thursday, Freese had approximately 30 registrants, but she hopes to get many more.
