June Haviland

For June, the spark to start running and walking came from a desire to support causes that matter. Participating in 5Ks gives her the perfect combination: a healthy activity that also helps make a difference.

What she loves most? The simplicity. “It’s simple, no equipment, good exercise, and great causes,” she shared. With her favorite music in her ears, June finds purpose and rhythm in every step she takes.

Her advice to newcomers is both encouraging and empowering: “Speed does not matter — walk or run — you are moving, and for a good cause.”

June first discovered Casey Cares years ago when our 5K was held at Camden Yards. As a devoted Orioles fan, the chance to walk through the stadium while supporting a meaningful mission was something she couldn’t pass up.

She keeps coming back because of the impact. “The cause is so important,” she said. “Having lost many adult family members to diseases like cancer, my heart breaks for children and their families.”
