Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Cancer Schlep Run/Walk
The event is a 5K run and walk held in Central Park that gathers participants across a wide age range to support cancer research and clinical care. It brings together several hundred people in a community effort to raise awareness of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers and of BRCA genetic screening.
Proceeds partially benefit a BRCA multidisciplinary clinic at Rabin Medical Center's Davidoff Cancer Center in Israel and fund global research studies on breast and ovarian cancer and on BRCA mutation carriers. The event description notes support for awareness, research and clinical services related to these cancers.
The course is a 5K loop in Mid-Central Park along Terrace Drive, with the Naumburg Bandshell as the event location. Entry points to the park are listed at West 72nd Street and Central Park West, or East 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue; the event address is 307 The Mall, New York, NY 10019.
