LIVESTRONG DAY 5K RACE and WALK
http://ymca.kintera.org/livestrongday5k

Sunday, September 30, 2012
Mercer County Park, East Picnic Area
West Windsor, NJ

Purpose: In 2011 over 27,000 people nationally pledged to wear yellow on LIVESTRONG DAY. Every year, this is the day when we show cancer what our movement is made of — we're determined, we're loud and we're fighters. Take action locally - Whatever your strengths, whatever your goals, whatever your personal battles, you can fight for a world without cancer.  Join us and wear your yellow!

Race Proceeds: Proceeds will benefit the Princeton YMCA’s LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program and other initiatives and activities dedicated to helping cancer survivors locally.  LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a FREE twelve-week, small group wellness program designed for adult cancer survivors.  The program is conducted outside of medical facilities to emphasize that LIVESTRONG at the
YMCA is about health, not disease.
