The Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center at UToledo Health will host its second annual Breast Cancer Awareness 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run on Sunday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon.
The chip-timed race will begin and end at the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center, traveling through The University of Toledo’s Health Science Campus. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers. The event is open to runners and walkers of all experience levels.
A group of staff from the Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center celebrate during the inaugural Breast Cancer Awareness 5K in 2025.
Funds raised will support patient care and support services at UToledo Health’s Eleanor N. Dana Cancer Center.
“Breast cancer affects people from all walks of life, yet access to care is not always equal. Many of our patients face significant financial challenges while navigating a cancer diagnosis,” said Dr. Natalie Rizk, surgical oncologist at UToledo Health. “Your participation helps provide critical support, resources and compassionate care for patients and families during one of the most difficult journeys of their lives.
“Together, we can raise awareness, promote early detection and ensure that high-quality cancer care remains accessible to those who need it most.”
