Wakefield High School alumni, Aaron Wollett helped to create the race to raise funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on behalf of his high school Agriculture teacher, Jodi Riedel. On May 20th, 2011, Jodi Riedel’s husband, Jamie Riedel (a teacher and Lacrosse coach at Heritage High School in Wake Forest) was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Today, Jamie Riedel is cancer free and celebrating life with his wife and son, Will (2). In addition, another Wakefield High School teacher and English department chair, Heather McDonald, was diagnosed with Lymphoma the summer of 2012. This year, the Catchin’ Fireflies race will donate funds in her honor.
