Cheryl Diamond NJ 5K Cancer Schlep
The Cookie & Stanley Chera a"h and Cheryl Diamond Jersey Shore 5K Cancer Schlep is an annual community run/walk held at Joe Palaia Park in Ocean Township, New Jersey. The event brings together hundreds of participants, with reported ages ranging from about 5 to 90 years, to raise awareness and funds related to breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
The Schlep supports global research into breast and ovarian cancer and BRCA mutation carriers, and it partially benefits the BRCA Multidisciplinary Clinic at Rabin Medical Center’s Davidoff Cancer Center in Israel. The event description notes a focus on awareness, education, and support for BRCA genetic screening and related clinical care.
Organizers list competitive awards for overall top male and female finishers and age-group awards for male and female participants in standard brackets from 19 & under through 70+.
