Happy birthday Isabella Sierra Hornick!

<p>FORTY FORT &#8212; In its fifth year of celebrating the memory of Stephanie Godri-Johnston, the Steph&#8217;s Fall 5K Run/Walk has become an annual tribute to its namesake and a chance to spread awareness of, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.</p><p>Steph&#8217;s Fall 5K Run/Walk takes place Sept. 24 at the Luzerne County Sports Complex, 2009 Wyoming Ave. Registration tables will be open from 8:30 to 10:10 a.m. A 5K run, 3K walk and &#8220;kids&#8217; fun run&#8221; will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the complex grounds.</p><p>Stephanie Godri-Johnston was a caring wife and mother of two who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2012. She was a decorated high school track and field athlete, a scholar with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in chemistry and a master&#8217;s degree in education and a willing and compassionate volunteer.</p><p>Entry for the 5K run and the 3K walk is $20, but patrons have the option to donate more. Patrons who wish to donate without taking part in the run/walk may do so at www.stephsfall5k.com.</p><p>Over the last five years, money raised at Steph&#8217;s Fall 5K Run/Walk has benefited graduating seniors from Godri-Johnston&#8217;s alma mater, Wyoming Area, in the form of the Stephanie Godri-Johnston Memorial Scholarship fund, and more than $15,000 has been donated to the Colon Cancer Alliance Blue Hope Fund.</p><p>Fore more information, visit stephsfall5k.com.</p><style>
