“As soon as we heard about people not receiving their registration money back, we knew we had to do something,” said Liz Soule, Outreach Coordinator at SMA’s BEACH House. “Our race is a fundraiser for SMA’s BEACH House, but we couldn’t stand by and let these runners get nothing for their investment,” she added
