ERRACE funds raised will be utilized to help patient support programs the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center at Hartford Hospital. This could include psychosocial support, financial counseling, nutritional support, educational programs, navigation, and integrative medicine. These programs are highly valued by our patients and families, not typically covered by insurance, and frequently truly make a difference on the lives of patients and families. These could be utilized to help patients in our cancer centers in Hartford, Avon and Manchester.
Whether you are a cyclist, runner, or walker we have an event for you! The events are accompanied by a day filled with family friendly wellness information and raffle, all benefiting the everyday fight against cancer. There will also be live entertainment and plenty of food.
We strongly encourage all to pre-register. There will be a limit of 800 pre-registrations this year. Online registration will close on Friday, July 10th, however fees increase on June 1. You may register the day of the event for a $10 surcharge but pre-registration is strongly encouraged & helpful. Please come join us for this exciting cause-worthy event!
