CancerCare is set to host its Fourth Annual Walk/Run for Hope at Greenwich Point Park in Old Greenwich on Sunday, April 17. The Walk/Run for Hope is a series of family-friendly 5K events that raise funds to support CancerCare’s free, professional services provided to anyone affected by cancer. Walkers and runners of all levels and ages are welcome to participate. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. The event starts at 9 a.m. with a Children’s half-mile Fun Run, followed by the 5K Walk/Run at 9:15 a.m. The 5K course is USATF-certified and sanctioned. Both individuals and teams can enter by registering at cancercare.org/walkgreenwich.
This community-based event brings together friends and families to walk or run in memory of those they have lost to cancer, honor survivors and support those who are currently facing a cancer diagnosis. Registration fees are $40 for adults and $20 for children 12 and under, and $10 for children for the Fun Run only. All participants will receive a commemorative Walk/Run for Hope t-shirt. Awards will be presented to the top male and female participants in both the overall race and age-based categories. The event will be held rain or shine and parking is free.
In Connecticut, CancerCare provides services through its Norwalk office. For more information, contact Corey Cenatiempo, Regional Special Events Manager, ccenatiempo@cancercare.org, 203-663-2189.
