ROCKPORT — In an effort to encourage physical activity and protect the health of the community, Journey to Health is excited to host a Strides for Support virtual benefit 5K to honor those affected by cancer and provide support to the oncology patient assistance funds at Pen Bay Medical Center and Waldo County General Hospital.

All are invited to walk, jog or run wherever you are to honor family members, friends and neighbors whose lives have been affected by cancer.

As a virtual participant, you can choose a time and place to walk, run or be active (while social distancing) between July 19 and July 31. Simply send a photo from your personal 5K to share your success and join the organization’s virtual gallery.

There is a $30 registration fee for the 5K, which can be completed at journeytohealth.coursestorm.com.

Proceeds from the event and all additional contributions will directly benefit oncology patients at PBMC and WCGH. If you would like to make an additional contribution, please call 301-3950.
