Kaitlin Buser/2013 Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Girl of the Year and leukemia survivor.
2017 marks the sixth year for the Blood, Sweat, & Tears 5-Miler. It was established in 2012 for one purpose; to help fund a cure for blood cancer. We have lost too many adults and children to these horrible diseases. Enough is enough. This event is for them. We run for them. We run for a cure.
Our first five years were a great success. We have had a nice turnout of runners and walkers, beautiful weather and lots of great food. Over the last five years, we have been able to raise over $25,000 for the Central PA Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society®. 2017 runners will also have the option of fundraising for the Emily Whitehead Foundation.
Here is a slight preview of what you can expect in 2017:
A five mile run on a combination of back country roads (3 miles) and the local rails to trail course (2 miles)
Timing chips - Police support - Water stop at mile 3 - Free drinks at the finish line - Goodie bags for all pre-registered runners
An official BST t-shirt for all pre-registered runners - Bake sale - Prize drawing
