Applications are being sought for the annual Race for Grace on April 5th.  The Trib reports that the event raises money for families and children battling pediatric brain cancer nd supports research on a fast-growing incurable type of brain cancer.  The event is held in memory of Grace Ekis, a 5-year-old girl who lost her battle with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma on Feb. 14, 2008. The 16 previous races around the Norwin campus in North Huntingdon have raised $1.94 million. Race organizers have set a goal of raising $170,000 this year.  For more information, visit reflectionsofgrace.org.
