From a law partner of Life Alert (Lee Whitman):

Dear Friends,

In honor of William “Bill” Axberg’s loving spirit and passion for fitness, we ask you to join us in celebrating his life by joining “Team Captain Kangaroo” in the Raleigh 9 to 5k Challenge on Saturday, September 21st. I’m sharing this with you on behalf of Anne, Eddie, their family, and everyone who lost a dear friend in Bill following his passing last February. 

Through the race organizers $25 of your registration fee will be donated to “The William “Bill” Axberg Scholarship Fund” at NC State.  We know Bill would have loved the idea of helping to grow the next generation of Wolfpack fans!
