Registration for PMC's 5th Annual 5k Walk/Hike for Meso is Open!
Worthington & Caron is pleased to announce that it will again serve as lead sponsor for the 5th Annual 5k Walk/Hike for Mesothelioma on October 23rd, 2016 at the Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills. The event is family and dog friendly, so bring your little ones and furry friends!
The event is hosted by The Pacific Mesothelioma Center (PMC) at the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute (PHLBI), with 100% of proceeds supporting PMC’s much-needed research for a cure for mesothelioma. To date, PMC has raised over $5 million in the campaign to fund new research in the fight against mesothelioma.
Each of the last four years’ events raised over $100,000; and in 2013 over $75,000 was raised. This year, with your help, we hope to break the record and raise $150,000 for mesothelioma research! $22,000 has already been raised towards that goal!
"Most of you know how devastating mesothelioma is, how underfunded it is compared to other cancers, and how greater awareness needs to be brought to it besides the late night advertisements you see on the television.” Clare Cameron, Executive Director of PMC said. “The goal of the 5K Walk for Meso began as a means to raise funds and awareness for mesothelioma and throughout the years has fostered a community. The PMC walk unites this community with the knowledge that, we, the sufferers of mesothelioma friends and families, walk with them through this battle both figuratively and literally."
Registration is $35 per person and participants will receive a t-shirt, enjoy live entertainment by The Six Billion Dollar Band, and a lunch catered byItalia Deli. As in years past, there will be a raffle and silent auction offering GREAT prizes!
The 5th Annual Walk/Hike for Meso will take place October 23rd, 2016 at the Paramount Ranch located at 2903 Cornell Road, Agoura Hills, CA 91301. Registration will open at 9 a.m., with the walk/hike beginning at 10 a.m. You can walk as an individual, or start a team.
Register today, invite friends and family, and start fundraising!
