Battery Park
701 E. Water Street
Description: Do you know someone with breast cancer, or someone who had breast cancer? You're probably nodding your head 'yes' because breast cancer is the most common reportable cancer among women in Ohio, regardless of race. In our buckeye state, it accounts for 28 percent of all cancers diagnosed in women.
This fall, let's join the fight to "save the pumpkins" with a 5K run/walk through our beautiful, lakefront Sandusky, Ohio. All proceeds will benefit The Foundations for the following North Coast Healthcare Collaborative Hospital Systems: Firelands Health, Fisher-Titus, Magruder Hospital, and The Bellevue Hospital.
The North Coast Healthcare Collaborative will use the funds to invest in patient support, breakthrough equipment, and research to prevent, diagnose and cure breast cancer. Donations from friends and family who do not wish to race, but would like to support the cause, are encouraged.
