Aurora Health Care to sponsor run/walk for cancer

GREEN BAY, Wis. A nonprofit healthcare organization that operates hospitals, clinics and retail pharmacies in eastern Wisconsin will sponsor a run and walk to raise money for cancer.

Aurora Health Care announced Thursday that it would sponsor the Aurora Run/Walk for Cancer in Green Bay, Wis., on June 7, National Cancer Survivor’s Day. Proceeds from the event will benefit Aurora’s Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics.

“The Aurora Run/Walk for Cancer provides cancer survivors and their support teams the opportunity to celebrate survivorship and reflect on what they’ve accomplished,” Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic at Aurora BayCare Medical Center oncologist Dhimant Patel said. “While many appreciate being alive each and every day, this is a once-a-year opportunity to truly celebrate beating and living with cancer.”
