The First Annual Veterans Mesothelioma 5K Charity Run will Raise Money to Help Build Awareness of the Serious Illness
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2015 /Mesothelioma.net, a free online resource that helps provide people with mesothelioma and their families with in-depth information about the disease, is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring a 5K charity run for veterans on November 8, 2015.
As an article on the website noted, http://mesothelioma.net/veterans-mesothelioma-5k-charity-run/, the 1st Annual Veterans Mesothelioma 5K Charity Run will take place in Houston, TX. The goal of the race is to raise funds that will aid in building awareness of mesothelioma—a disease that has impacted many military veterans and their loved ones.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and the West Roxbury VA, noted a spokesperson for http://mesothelioma.net.
The race, which will start at 8 a.m., will begin at the University of Houston Downtown Naylor parking lot and go out and back on the Heights Hike and Bike Trail. The cost to participate is $20 for adults and $10 for runners under the age of 18. Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers, and ribbons will be awarded to the top three finishers of various age groups.
