Thank you for visiting my Cigna/Elliot Corporate 5K Road Race fundraising page!
In August I’ll be participating in the Cigna/Elliot Corporate 5K Road Race in downtown Manchester to help fund and build a new, comprehensive, $29M Elliot Regional Cancer Center in Manchester to better serve our families, friends and neighbors. The new center will bring day surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, infusion and other treatments under a single roof for patient and family convenience. The new center will also add a new, local thoracic surgery option, as well as a new Nurse Navigator Program to help each patient (and their family members) during their cancer care journey. This will be the ONLY cancer center like it here in southern New Hampshire!
On a personal note, this will only be my third 5k ever! I completed my first back in high school (a few years ago!) and my second on a cruise ship in June and am eager to keep at it. This time I'll be doing it with friends from work and for a great cause. I lost my mom in 2016 after she battled cancer and have had too many family and friends battle this insidious disease. I want to help make sure state of the art resources and treatment are available locally as it can be a real burden to travel for them, even just to Boston.
I hope you and/or your company can make a donation, at any level that works for you, to help me reach my fundraising goal. Your donation is tax deductible, and you will receive an automated gift receipt when you make your gift. Thank you for your support, and for helping to improve the cancer services and treatments available locally.
