Recently @ RUNurse Club: Local Charity Running Events!
RUNurse Pink Squad at the 2024 San Antonio More Than Pink Walk
The More Than Pink Walk is an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research, support, and advocacy. Organized by Susan G. Komen, the walk brings together communities across the nation, encouraging people to walk in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer. Participants, including survivors, families, and supporters, walk to honor loved ones, celebrate survivors, and fund critical research that aims to end breast cancer. Beyond just a walk, the event fosters a sense of unity and hope, while also providing resources and education about prevention, detection, and treatment options. The More Than Pink Walk underscores the movement’s commitment to not only increasing survival rates but also to creating a world without breast cancer. It serves as a reminder of the collective effort needed to fight breast cancer and the importance of hope, care, and community.
RUNurse represent at the American Heart Association's Heart & Stroke 5K
The AHA Heart & Stroke 5K is an annual fundraising event organized by the American Heart Association (AHA) to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke, as well as to support vital research, education, and advocacy efforts. Participants of all ages come together to run, walk, or jog in the event, with the goal of promoting heart health and encouraging a heart-healthy lifestyle. The 5K serves not only as a fun and family-friendly activity but also as a powerful reminder of the importance of preventing heart disease and stroke, which remain the leading causes of death worldwide. Funds raised through the event go directly to the AHA’s mission to advance scientific research, improve healthcare access, and reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease. The AHA Heart & Stroke 5K helps create a sense of community, inspiring individuals to take action toward better health while honoring those affected by heart disease and stroke. The San Antonio event overall raised a total of more than $700,000 for this benevolent cause.
RUNurse Squad at Wounded Warrior Project's San Antonio Carry Forward 5K
The RUNurse Squad recently participated in the WWP's Carry Forward 5K last October 5th, a remarkable event that transcends the typical race experience. As a community of nurses dedicated to both physical fitness and the well-being of others, our involvement in this event highlighted our commitment to service, resilience, and camaraderie—not just among ourselves, but also with the injured combat veterans that we honor. The Carry Forward 5K is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to support veterans and raise awareness for the challenges they face after service. By participating, we not only pushed our physical limits but also embraced a shared mission: to honor the sacrifices made by those who have served our country. For nurses, particularly those in critical care, the connection to the mission resonates deeply to us. We understand the importance of supporting our heroes, whether it's through direct care or community initiatives. Six of our club members also proudly finished their very first 5K. RUNurse Club also raised more than $700 making the team rank 17th out of 160+ participating teams.
RUNurse Club Co-Founder Wins 1st Place at Head For The Cure 5K
In an inspiring display of dedication and resilience, Nurse Sophia Hall (the co-founder of the RUNurse Club) recently clinched 1ST PLACE for her Age Group at the Head For The Cure 5K, a race dedicated to raising awareness and funds for brain cancer research, held last September 28th. This participation by our members not only highlights the commitment of our club to promoting health and wellness but also emphasizes the power of community support in overcoming challenges. The Head For The Cure 5K brings together runners, survivors, and supporters, all united by a common goal: to fight against brain cancer. Proceeds from the race went towards various brain cancer initiatives, including research grants and local patient support programs. RUNurse Club participates in various local charity events on a monthly basis. Congratulations to Sophia for leading the way with such passion!
