Although the spring semester began just weeks ago, Vince Schiano and Chris Zukas are already making ambitious summer plans. The Niagara University students, as many of their peers often do, intend to hit the road for the West Coast on Memorial Day.

Schiano and Zukas are hoping to be among the approximately 90 participants of this year’s 4K for Cancer, a philanthropic activity launched in 2001 by a group of students from Johns Hopkins University.
