2025 Rochester River Run/Walk 5K

Presented by Friends of Strong Memorial Hospital and the hospital's transplant teams, all proceeds from the Rochester River Run directly benefit transplant patients via our Transplant Patient Fund, which provides supplemental assistance to patients in need.

In addition to costly medical treatment, the need to travel—for some a great distance—adds financial strain on patients and their families.

Your support will help hundreds of patients currently awaiting heart, liver, kidney or pancreas transplants, as well as those who continue to receive follow-up care at Strong. 

Learn more about our transplant programs at urmc.rochester.edu/transplant and, please consider adding your name to the New York State Organ Donor Registry via passlifeon.org. You have the power to save lives!
