Sixth Annual 5K Bunny Hop and Kids Fun Run In Benzinger Park, St. Marys, PA, on March 26
Hanover, MA (PRWEB) March 22, 2016 -- As they have on each Easter weekend for the last five years, more than 500 people will crowd Benzinger Park in St. Marys, PA, to help raise money (by walking or running) to fund research to cure brain aneurysms, a disease that affects an estimated 30,000 people in the United States every year.
All proceeds from this annual 5K Bunny Hop and Kids Fun Run will be raised on behalf of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF), an international non-profit organization renowned for their work in raising awareness about brain aneurysms as well as for their support of Arterial Vascular Medical research.
“The work of the Brain Aneurysm Foundation is to get resources to doctors and researchers who are working to prevent this disease,” said Christine Buckley, BAF Executive Director, “The impact of our work greatly depends on the success of fundraising events like the one onthis special day in St. Marys’ Benzinger Park. Our goal as an organization is to raise awareness and end the fear of this devastating disease.”
Organizers of the event, which will be held this year at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 26, say they continue to hold the Bunny Hop as a way to raise money and awareness about the signs and symptoms of brain aneurysms.
Registration is now open for the event or you can register on-site after 10 a.m. on March 26. The 3.2-mile walkers’ event begins at 11 a.m.; the Kids Fun Run starts at 12:15 p.m.; and the 5K Runners event starts at 12:30 p.m. The registration fee is $30 for adults and $10 for children.
