One family affected by Cancer is the Luu Family, whose son Shaun succumbed to the illness in 2005. Shaun was an unusual, but much loved young man. He enjoyed the sport of skateboarding, was extremely active in the local hardcore music scene, and a Horror Film lover. The Shaun Luu Horror Fest was originally created to raise Shaun’s spirits during his Cancer struggle. The Fest has continued in his honor as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The organizers strive to make the Fest bigger and better each year; not just for the Luu Family, but all families touched by this relentless disease.  Along with the “Run for Your Life ZOMBIE 5k” Fun Run/ Skate, which will allow both runners and skateboarders to participate, there will be a 1-Mile “Zombie Walk”. “Zombie walks” allow for people to dress up as zombies, and do their best zombie walk/shamble throughout the designated course. Prizes will be given for the best costume and/or makeup and for the best Zombie shamble.     

Space is EXTREMELY limited: only the first 200 runners, 55 skaters and 50 zombies can participate. Placement will be on a first come, first served basis.
