Signup now for Megan’s Mission 5k Run/Walk

The annual “Megan’s Mission 5k Run/Walk” is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m.
This family-friendly event is part of the Village of Coal City’s Fall Festival. Competitive and recreational runners, walkers, strollers, and dog walkers are welcome as the goal is to bring as many people together as possible in support of the childhood cancer community.
Parents should encourage the participation of youth to teach “kids supporting other kids”.
The start and finish line will be in front of Babe’s Tap in Coal City. The first 400 registered are guaranteed to receive a custom race shirt and a finisher medal.
Last year’s event resulted in 426 runners and walkers coming out to show their support during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The registration fee is $35 in advance and $40 on race day.
Teams of 10 or more who register under the same team name will receive a $10 discount per team member.
All proceeds from this event will help the Megan’s Mission Foundation continue to support some of the most innovative and promising childhood cancer research in the country taking place in the “Megan Bugg Global Rhabdomyosarcoma Research Laboratory” at the Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute in Oregon.
To date, the Megan’s Mission Foundation has donated $2.5 million to support childhood cancer research in the pursuit of Megan Bugg’s dream to end the nightmare of childhood cancer through advocacy and research.
