We will also be honoring two amazing community members, 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆.
𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 has dedicated her career to public service, first as a firefighter and EMT, and now as a police officer with the Haddonfield Police Department for the past eight years. A lifelong athlete and youth jiu jitsu coach, Anne uses fitness, especially running and weightlifting, as a grounding force during life’s stressful moments. She completed her first 5K at age 11 and has since found movement to be one of her greatest sources of healing.
Anne’s unique role in her community allows her to support young people both on the mat and through moments of crisis. Her leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to emotional and physical wellness are exactly why Starting Point is proud to honor her at this year’s 5K.
𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 has spent his life in service, as a firefighter, EMT, 9-1-1 dispatcher, and deputy emergency management coordinator. His public safety career began as a volunteer and evolved into decades of leadership across multiple roles. Alongside his dedication to the community, Sean found a passion for running and fitness, which played a vital role in his recovery after a heart attack in 2019 at age 44. Since then, he’s completed some Broad Street Runs and 5Ks.
His strength, humility, and continued advocacy for wellness make him a powerful example of resilience in action. We are honored to recognize Sean at this year’s 5K for his lifelong commitment to helping others and for showing us what it means to rise, adapt, and keep moving forward.
