Jamestown  (CSi)  The 13th Running of the Pink, on July 11, 2020 will be  a virtual walk/run.  Over 12 years, the race has raised more than $150,000 for breast and cervical cancer screenings.

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show, on CSi Cable 2, Tara Kapp said 249 registrations have been received, so far and are still being accepted through Saturday morning  July 11.

She said, initially the event was to be live and in person with social distancing protocols in place.   The event organizers recognized that many participants may not be ready or able to gather, during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The need for continued support of the fight against breast and cervical cancer through early detection goes on so they moved forward with #VirtualROP.

100% of the proceeds will continue to go to the No Excuses and Women’s Way programs through Jamestown Regional Medical Center and Central Valley Health.

She pointed out that all expenses of the event are picked up by Casey Stoudt, allowing all proceeds to stay in Jamestown and Stutsman County to go to the No Excuses, Women’s Way programs.

Funds raised tear down barriers that may otherwise prevent someone from receiving the care they need.  They may be uninsured or under insured, and unable to afford the cost of screenings.

Tara said a survey showed that 50 percent of women in Stutsman County have never had a mammogram screening.

The virtual options gives EVERYONE the opportunity to walk or run at your own time, pace and location but still be a part of the #RunningOfThePink movement.

The registration cost  is $25 for adults, $20 for youth 12 & Under, and $20 for Seniors. All paid registrants will receive a T-shirt.
