Dr. Donna J. Quinby, DMD, MSD of Eastside Pediatric Dental Group and staff dressed up as The Smurfs to participate in the Winter Pineapple Classic race to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Their team consisted of Quinby, Brandi Hill and her family, Shannon Fillip, Christina Moon, Alisha Fischer, Tara Cummings and husband, Diane Pargeter, and Richelle Spencer along with her husband. The race is held annually at Mountain Meadows Farm in North Bend and consists of 5K run with an obstacle course.

“New cases of Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma account for 9 percent of new cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. this year.  Some of our patients and their families have been affected by these types of cancer this year,” Quinby said. “This was a fun way that we could show our support to those affected.” The EPDG team finished the race in just under 45 minutes and plans to participate again next year.

Eastside Pediatric Dental Group is located at 185 NE Gilman Blvd., Issaquah.
