On Sunday, Feb. 6, roughly 1,000 people honored a request made by late Cal coxswain Jill Costello by participating in the second annual Jog for Jill. The event – a 5K run/walk sponsored by the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation to raise funds for lung cancer research – fulfilled Jill’s desire to have a yearly walk in her honor.

“It was amazing to see so many student-athletes come out for Jog for Jill,” junior women’s swimmer Shelley Harper said. “My entire team was there and it was just really great to get together to celebrate Jill’s life and support her dream to ‘Beat Lung Cancer.’”

The walk started and ended in Sproul Plaza on the Cal campus with student-athletes representing all 27 Cal teams in attendance in addition to other Berkeley students and community members. Following the walk, there was a celebration of Jill’s life.
