QUEENS, N.Y. - Oct. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- The 1st Annual WE RUN 5K Fitness Fun Run/Walk was held on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, NY.  Runners and walkers came from far and near to trek the scenic trail at the popular park.  Executive Director, Tricia Singh, felt compelled to launch the friendly fitness event, in the midst of supporting her mother who is currently battling breast cancer.  “After my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, I’ve been able to see first-hand, the importance of cancer research and spreading knowledge to others about how to take care of yourself and your health”, explains Singh.

The organization’s inaugural event was sponsored by Panera Bread, Modell's, Road ID, Smart Creations Web Design, Something Blue NY, Domoore Designs, Mane Majesty, and Phoenix OB/GYN.  The WE RUN 5K Fitness Fun Run/Walk kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness month and benefited 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.  Singh expressed her delight in regards to the event’s outcome, "The positive feedback that we received after the race from participants and observers has been phenomenal!  We are thrilled at being able to raise money for SHARE, while raising awareness about breast cancer.  Plans are already underway to make our race bigger and better, next year and beyond for runners, walkers, breast cancer survivors and caregivers."
