EAST LANSING — Runners, walkers and rollers made their way through Michigan State University’s campus for the 6th annual Izzo Run/Walk/Roll on April 27.
“Each year, we’re blown away by the turnout and generosity of this community,” Lupe Izzo, founder and president of the Izzo Legacy Foundation, said in news release. “This isn’t just a race—it’s about bringing our community together to make an impact in our own backyard.”
