Cary, N.C. - On Saturday, March 13, Bond Park will host the Push the Pace 5K for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research. Registration can be done on-line or at 9 am on the day of the event – $20 in advance, $25 on Saturday. The race begins at 10 am. Each registrant will receive a free t-shirt.
All of the proceeds from Push the Pace will be donated to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, founded in 1991. In years past, children diagnosed with brain tumors would rarely survive to adulthood. However, now with the right tools, researchers from this foundation are able to develop a better understanding of how to extend the lives of children. According to the foundation, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is the world’s largest non-governmental source of funding for childhood brain tumor research.
