This past Friday, FingerLakes1.com’s Josh Durso ran in the Stars & Stripes Veterun 5K at Mendon Ponds Park in Honeoye Falls.
The race raised money for Honor Flight Rochester, which is a not-for-profit that honors vets for their sacrifices by flying them to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial.
Honor Flight does this at no cost to vets or their family members, and prioritizes oldest service members first- and those facing critical health issues.
Thousands of dollars has been raised through the race, which is held annually and organized by Yellow Jacket and Fleet Feet.
