| Team Labrecque - ING NYC Marathon 2010 |
|
Every year, the New York Road Runners has a limited number of entries (selected through a lottery drawing) for the ING New York City Marathon. In 2006, the NYRR began a program to give runners not accepted through the lottery a second chance and a guaranteed spot through the Special Charity Initiative. This Charity Initiative allows the first runners who apply and pledge to raise at least $2,500 for one of the chosen foundations guaranteed entry into the 2010 NYC Marathon!
The Team Labrecque: Uniting Against Lung Cancer is proud to be chosen as one of the charities in this program for the fifth year in a row! Team Labrecque:Uniting Against Lung Cancer is committed to preventing lung cancer through education and research, in order to break the stigmas associated with the disease. With greater understanding will come increased funding. Medical research has enabled women to survive breast cancer and men to survive prostate cancer. The same can be done for lung cancer patients, but only with increased funding for research.
Funds raised by the Uniting Against Lung Cancer will be distributed to the nation’s top cancer research centers through the input of a medical advisory board that includes clinicians from the country’s leading thoracic oncology institutions. |
