Worthington & Caron is pleased to announce that it will again
serve as lead sponsor for the 4th Annual 5k
Walk/Hike for Mesothelioma on
September 27th, 2015 at the Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills, California. The
scenic walk/hike route is family and dog friendly, so bring your little ones
and your pooches!
The event is hosted by The
Pacific Mesothelioma Center (PMC) at the Pacific Heart,
Lung & Blood Institute (PHLBI), with 100% of proceeds supporting PMC’s much-needed
research for a cure for mesothelioma.
In years past, over 300
participants have joined with PMC to tell Meso “to take a hike!” “This year, we
expect more than 400 participants to walk in solidarity to honor those who have
lost the fight against mesothelioma and to raise money for research.” Clare
Cameron, Executive Director of PMC said. “To date, PMC has raised over $5
million in the campaign to fund new research in the fight against
mesothelioma.”
Last year’s event raised over
$100,000; and in 2013 over $75,000 was raised. This year, with your help, we
can break the record and raise even more!
Registration is $35 per person if you register before September
25, 2015. Day of event registration is $40. Participants will receive a t-shirt,
enjoy live entertainment and a lunch catered by Ottavio's Ristorante Italiano. There
will also be a raffle and silent auction with GREAT prizes!
The Paramount Ranch is located at 2903 Cornell Road in Agoura Hills. Registration will
open at 9 a.m., with the walk/hike beginning at 10 a.m. You can walk as an
individual, or start a team.
Register today, and
don’t forget to start fundraising!
