2018 LM5K dedicated to the Murphy Family
The Lee Ann Mannillo Foundation will dedicate the proceeds of the 2018 LM5K to a local family rocked by the devastating loss of Christina Murphy. Just weeks after their second child was born, Joe Murphy is grieving the loss of his wife Christina while working to care for their two young boys. Joe and Christina were a couple dedi-cated to public school systems in Massachusetts. Christina served as a teacher in the Boston Public System and Joe is an Administrator for the Plymouth Public School District. The loss of Christina deeply moved the LAMF Board to dedicate the 2018 LM5K to Joe and his sons. In May of 2014 The Lee Ann Mannillo Foundation (LAMF) was formed after the unexpected and devastating loss of Lee Ann Mannillo mere hours after the birth of her twin sons.
