Gynecological Cancer Foundation's Race to End Women's Cancer
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (GCF) plans to establish the Half Marathon and 5K as its marquee annual event, designed to raise money to support the GCF programs. This event will take place each year in Washington, D.C. during an entire weekend of gynecologic awareness programs involving physicians, survivors and women battling gynecologic cancers.
While heavy participation is expected from the GCF physicians and supporters,
the Half Marathon and the 5K run are open to all members of the running community and public. A number of survivors, their families and friends are also expected to participate.
the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation was established in 1991 by the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) to promote public awareness of gynecologic cancers, educate women about prevention, early detection and post-diagnosis treatments.
Join the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation before and after the race for food, music, exhibors, and entertainment!
GCF invites all weekend participants to join us Sunday morning to experience local food and beverage, gynecologic cancer seminars and information centers, musical performances by N.E.D., and many wonderful vendors! The fun starts at 6:00 AM on Sunday, November 8th, and will continue until well after the racers have crossed the finish line!
