I am honored and proud to be the chair of the 2013 Prevent Cancer Foundation 5k Walk/Run. This will be the fourth year that I have taken part in this event and I am very excited to be a part of making this one a great success to help Stop Cancer Before it Starts!
Last year’s 5K participants & volunteers pose with fan favorite Nationals’ mascot Teddy!
The countdown to the 5k continues and it is now less than five months away! Registration is now open for the walk/run at Nationals Park on Sunday, September 29 from 8am – noon. Sign up today as an individual or start a team and save $5 off registration. This year’s event will feature a warm up hosted by Dance Trance DC, a 5k course along the waterfront and surrounding area, a chance to test your skills in the Nationals batting cages and information and screenings provided by local medical professionals. Those who register early will also have a chance to participate in community events leading up to the 5K.
To kick off the Prevent Cancer 5k walk/run and to get all participants excited and motivated, we will be hosting a Kickoff Happy Hour at Wilson Tavern in Clarendon on Thursday, June 6, 5-9 pm. Wilson Tavern has generously offered to give 10% of the proceeds from the night back to the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Registration for the event is $8 ahead of time and $10 at the door, registration includes drink and food specials all evening long and a pair of Prevent Cancer Foundations sunglasses. Friends, family and coworkers are all welcome!
