Ellen's Run
Sunday, August 16, 2009 | 7:00pm
Bridget got up early this morning to join 600 other runners and hundreds of spectators for the 14th annual Ellen's Run, a 5K race to benefit breast cancer research. While there, she caught up with Julie Ratner, the founder and chair of the Ellen Hermanson Foundation (pictured above). The event raised more than $130,000 for the new Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital. Below, she cools down in the company of Councilwoman Nancy Graboski and Councilwoman -- and "running mate" (get it?) -- Sally Pope.
