“WE RUN” 5K Kicks Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month

QUEENS, N.Y. - Sept. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The WE RUN Fitness Fun Run/Walk will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 9:00 AM at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, NY.  The organization’s inaugural event, which kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness month, will benefit SHARE (Self-Help for Women with Breast or Ovarian Cancer).  SHARE is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to create and sustain a supportive network and community of women affected by breast or ovarian cancer.

Executive Director, Tricia Singh, expresses her feelings about the WE RUN’s launch and why its mission is near and dear to her, “As a caregiver, whose mother has stage four metastatic breast cancer and has endured surgeries, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation, I hope that this race will help to raise funds to help support SHARE provide empowerment, education and advocacy to bring about better health care, an improved quality of life, and a cure for these diseases.”  Singh goes on to explain the significance of education and awareness, “After my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, I have seen first-hand the importance of cancer research and spreading knowledge to others about how to take care of yourself and your health.”

The WE RUN Fitness 5K Fun Run/Walk will start and finish near the Unisphere (big globe) located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.  A 1-Mile Kids Fun-Run for children12 years old & under, will take place immediately following the 5K.
