Patients who come to Strong for heart, liver, pancreas and kidney transplants often need financial assistance while they await and recover from surgery. In addition to costly medical treatment, the need to travel—some at great distance—can add strain on them and their families.
Co-sponsored by Friends of Strong and the hospital’s transplant programs, the River Run benefits transplant patients who are awaiting or recovering from organ transplant surgery. All proceeds go toward helping our patients pay for expenses associated with lifelong care, such as life-saving medications and travel expenses.
Download and print your racing bib to wear when and where you choose to complete your 5K and take some fun selfies to share with friends and family and show your supporting a great cause. Online registration continues through April 3rd.
The River Run/Walk 5K is an annual event sponsored by Friends of Strong Memorial Hospital and the hospital’s transplant units. All proceeds directly benefit transplant patients and the Friends of Strong patient care fund.
