The Janet J. Smith 5K Run/Walk is held annually in memory of Janet Johnston Smith. Janet was a true fighter, and through her determination and strength she survived eleven years after receiving the diagnosis of cancer. When Janet was first diagnosed, she recognized immediately that life wasn’t going to be a smooth road, and her thoughts focused toward living each day. It seemed that the more difficulties she encountered, the more determined she became to positively touch the lives of others. Her greatest hope was that she had made a difference in the lives of others in her community. Through the Janet J. Smith Foundation, a difference is being made in this community in her name.
