FYI everyone, there are two upcoming PCa awareness Walk/Runs coming up in September, in the Chicagoland area.
The first is on Sunday, September 8th, and is the "3rd Annual Run/Walk for Prostate Cancer Awareness" that is sponsored by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago.
From the website page on this event:
"The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago is excited to announce our 3rd annual Run & Walk for Prostate Cancer Awareness. This special 5K run and 3K walk is scheduled for Sunday, September 8, 2013 at Chicago Prostate Cancer Center in Westmont. Fastest runners in each age group male/female will be recognized. We will have live music, raffles, auctions, split-the pot, and prize give-a-ways to all registered participants! Funds raised are used for free prostate cancer screenings, monthly support group, medical research studies, and public education and awareness through Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago."
The second event is on Sunday, September 15th, and is the "9th Annual SEA Blue Walk/Run" and is presented by Us TOO, Wellness Place, Cancer Education and Support and UroPartners, benefiting Us TOO International and Wellness Place - both 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
From the website page on this event:
"The SEA Blue Walk/Run is a Chicagoland event that has raised over $2 million for prostate cancer support, education, and awareness. Funds generated from the SEA Blue Walk/Run directly affect the thousands of men and their loved ones touched by prostate cancer every day.
Join us for a day of camaraderie, education and celebration. One step at a time, your participation in the SEA Blue Walk/Run helps us raise vital funds to make significant strides toward increasing awareness and education."
If anyone is interested in either and/or both of these events please send an e-mail to me and I would be happy to provide additional information. My e-mail is available by clicking on "A Yooper" in the top left corner of my posts.
My wife and I are signed up for both.
