Registration is now open for the Sept. 15 event which will raise money for the Jeremy Strom Remembrance Foundation.

The life of a Stevenson High School graduate who lost his battle with drug addiction will be remembered Sept. 15 with a 5K run/walk.

The Experience Hope 5K run/walk will be held in honor of Jeremy Strom, a 2008 graduate who died in 2009.

The event, which will begin at 8 a.m. at Lakewood Forest Preserve in Wauconda, will be hosted by the Jeremy Stom Remembrance Foundation which sponsors recreational activities for teens with limited resources.
