Pink
Strides Trail Run
Thanks to all of you who volunteered or participated in the 4th Annual Pink Strides: Trail Run & Wellness Walk. This has been the best year yet! Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, 182 participants showed up to fight breast cancer and the blustery October wind. With all of your support we raised over $5,000.00! Proceeds from this event will support the Screening and Survivor Support (SASS) for Breast Cancer program, which provides financial reimbursements for survivors and mammograms to anyone in need and Pink Strides 2012. We could not have done this event without the support of our sponsors and volunteers, including: the Energy Cooperative, Licking Memorial Health Systems, the ZONTA Club of Newark, the Licking County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), The Ohio State University Stress and Health Study staff, Licking County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and Licking County Health Department Staff and family members. We hope you can join us next year!

If you have never run in a 5k or any other run, walk, ride, or swim, don't let that stop you from joining the fun!
