The foundation, started by Susan Rose after she lost her daughter Lauren to a car accident in 1999, aims to ease the worries of working, hospitalized or struggling women. Members provide them with baskets and gift bags packed with toiletries and self-care products year around — but especially during their big Mothers Day drive (http://www.nj.com/washington-township- times/index.ssf/2012/05/mothers_matter_charity_donates.html)— as well as funding scholarships, emergency grants and a “Suited for Work” program to provide women in need with interview and job outfits. “Our goal for the Mothers Matter 5K run and walk is to spread awareness of the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation and other Mothers Matter programs to help women facing difficult challenges,” said Rose, who runs the program from its headquarters on McClure Drive in Washington Township (http://www.nj.com/wttimes).

This year at the walk, Freeholder Adam Taliaferro will be the Grand Marshal, along with Dr. Alex Vaccaro of the Rothman Institute — a partner of the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation — who helped him overcome his spinal injury 13 years ago.

“I met him when he came by with Sen. Fred Madden ... what a wonderful man, he’s so special,” said Rose.

She’s expecting between 250 and 300 participants in the walk, which kicks off at 9 a.m on Oct. 20. They’re offering a special “family fee” of just $50 for a family of up to five, for participants who register online prior to the race day. Individual registration is $20 plus a $2.50 sign-up fee online.

The course is USATF certified, Rose said, with prizes being given out to top male and female finishers in their age groups.

“It’s a fabulous run from what I’m told,” Rose said. “It’s a great course for runners, it’s a wonderful family outing for workers and families, and it all goes toward helping moms. It doesn’t get better than that.”
