One foot in front of the other.
I am re-posting this from Ari’s site first, as a favor to Ari, but more importantly because it is something that should always be brought to the forefront whenever possible. Foundations like this take private funding and funnel it to research, free from the whims and bureaucracy of government agencies and, as such, make many more advances. On top of that, this is an amazing way to get out and do something active in what is sure to become a sports icon!
Todd Brogan, Communications Coordination for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, sent me a message on Facebook after reading my post about my Yankee Stadium Run. His foundation is has recently launched a 5k run/walk at Yankee Stadium. The entire event will take place in the Stadium. Participants will run/walk the concourses and ramps, climb the stairs between levels and enjoy incredible views of the Stadium from all angles. The race ends with special access to a victory lap on the warning track circling the field where you will see the Stadium from a player’s point of view.
The event is limited to 2,500 participants. If you are interested in participating, sign up soon. More information can be found by visiting the event’s website. If you cannot participate in the event but would like to contribute towards cancer research, please click here.
