The latest in fundraising efforts to support Glenn Lightner, a 13-year-old Long Valley teen pursuing alternative medicine to cure the brain cancer he's been battling since 2007, has brought in $9,700.

The Run Like Lighting 5K fun run event, hosted by the Washington Township Police Benevolence Association Local #301, took off from the Long Valley Middle School Saturday morning. 

Participants ranged from friends to officers and school officials, all coming together for a common cause: helping Glenn Lightner's family find a cure.
