Celebrate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month By Joining The St. Jude Walk/Run

Registration is open for the St. Jude Walk/Run – Long Island (www.stjude.org/walklongisland) during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month at 9am ET on Saturday, Sept. 24 at Marcum Corporate Office and Park (10 Melville Park Rd. Melville, NY 11747).

The 5K is a hybrid event that offers supporters of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® the chance to gather in-person or virtually to raise funds and awareness for the St. Jude mission: Finding cures. Saving children.® Thanks to generous supporters, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.

For those who attend the St. Jude Walk/Run in person, there will be food, family entertainment and a St. Jude supporter who will share why the community’s support means so much to the patients and their families at St. Jude.

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life- threatening diseases. Fundraising events like the St. Jude Walk/Run are helping to fuel the current six- year, $12.9 billion St. Jude strategic plan that includes tripling its global investment to impact more of the 400,000 kids around the world with cancer each year.
