Runner and golfers that came from all over the state to help raise money for cancer research ended up helping two organizations have record-breaking turnouts this year.

Nearly 500 runners and walkers participated in the 5^th Annual Alexa Brown 5k and Kids 1k on September 20^th, as they pounded the pavement in downtown Clyde to honor the young girl who lost her battle with cancer in 2009. The turnout was a great success considering there were other high-profile races going on the same day. All proceeds from the race and from the 70 additional race shirts that were sold will go to CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, which is part of the National Childhood Cancer Foundation. To honor Alexa, race organizers had butterfly wings set up, so that children could have their photos taken.

Another successful event to raise funds for cancer research was held the following weekend at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course and it ended up raising nearly triple the amount that it had the previous year. It was the 2^nd Annual Jake Zeller Memorial Golf Outing and the Ohio State University’s James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute will be receiving $18,223 in Jake Zeller’s name to put toward their research. Jake was treated at The James before losing his battle with brain cancer in 2013.

Owned by Boyk Law client, Farah Ali, and her husband, Saeid, Sahara Mediterranean & American Cuisine is one of the best places in town to order fresh, authentic Greek fare and still have the option of traditional steaks, burgers, and wraps. 

Office manager Leslie Rombkowski recently made a trip there with her husband, Gary, and found the food to be excellent and fairly priced.

“We went for a casual dinner and had a great time,” Leslie said. “The owners are so friendly and the food was awesome.”

Best Thing About Sahara: That Farah and Saeid pay attention to even the smallest details. They go out of their way to make the restaurant feel as if you are eating in their home.

Little Known Fact About the Owners: That they have lived all over the world, including Egypt, Brazil, Europe, and Lebanon, before settling in the States.

Most Convenient Part of Sahara: All of their food is available to-go, but their Value Trays are the perfect way for a large party to sample different types of dishes instead of all ordering separate meals.
