About this race

💖 About This Event

The La Vita e Bella 5K was created for our beautiful Nicole Dondero who was tragically killed by a reckless driver in a car accident Nov. 8, 2019 at the young age of just 21.

Nicole's passions other than her family and friends were those in need. Nicole donated her time at soup kitchens beginning at a very young age. She loved animals and spent years looking after them at shelters. She lived life to its fullest and spread nothing but happiness to those who are lucky enough to have known her. "La Vita e Bella" (The Life is Beautiful)
