Join CBS 2 HD for the 2009 Komen New York City Race for the Cure

Join CBS 2 HD's Mary Calvi, Kristine Johnson, Kate Sullivan, Dr. Holly Phillips, Dana Tyler, Cindy Hsu, Kate McGee, Maurice DuBois and John Elliot at the Komen Greater NYC Race for a Cure Run/Walk. Come out and walk, run, or volunteer as we fight to help create a world without breast cancer.


Sunday, September 13, 2009
9:00a.m. Walk
Central Park
New York, NY 10022


CBS 2 HD's team will be walking alongside thousands of people physically and millions of people emotionally at this inspirational event. Walkers and runners can register for this event or make a donation at www.komennyc.org. All participants will receive a t-shirt before the Race begins at the Registration tent. Anyone interested can also pledge a participant online, or turn in pledge money at Advance Registration at the Hilton New York or on Race Day.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series is the world's largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer ever created. Nancy B. Brinker, founded Susan G. Komen for the Cure as a promise to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen. What began as a simple promise from a sister to a sister gradually became the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives.

At least 7 million people die of cancer each year. While Susan G. Komen Foundation does not eliminate cancer, it has come along way in the fight. Thanks to the activists within, the world is that much closer to creating a world without breast cancer. The series of 5K runs and fitness walks raises significant funds and awareness for the breast cancer movement, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since it started in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure Series has grown from one Race with 800 people in Dallas to a global series of more than 120 Races with 1.5 million people participating on four continents. This year, in addition to the Races held in the United States, Komen Race for the Cure events will be held in Italy, Germany, Puerto Rico and the Republic of Georgia.

Walkers and runners check in between 7:00a.m-9:00a.m. Registration fees for the race are $25 for the Advance Registration through July 15, $30 for Race Registration after July 15, $40 on Race Day and $45 for the premium upgrade. There are different sets of deadlines for persons/teams who register online, by mail, or in person. In person activities can only be done at the Hilton New York or on Race Day in the park. Come out to Central Park, participate, and make difference.

    Anchor Maurice DuBois will act as the Master of Ceremonies at the Village of Quogue 350th Anniversary Celebration on July 18th and 19th, 2009 at Jessep Avenue.  Festivities will include a parade.  The Village of Quogue, founded in 1659 came into its own as a summer resort community in the 1890s a period known in the Village as the boarding house era. Following lengthy debate, the Village was incorporated in 1928 thereby giving it the autonomy it needed to develop over the years at its own measured pace. Today, Quogue proudly stands apart from the "Hampton's Scene" focusing as it always has, on wholesome family oriented activities.  Come out and celebrate 350 years of history.  For more information visit www.villiageofquogue.com

Devoted To Helping You Decrease Your Chances Of Getting Cancer

The following is from Self chec™


Self chec™ is all about you decreasing your chances of getting cancer and living a long and healthy life. It's about what you and those you care about must do to make sure this happens. Self chec™ wants you to help us create a cultural shift from fear of cancer (or the "C" word), to awareness and personal empowerment, by telling you fairly and squarely the actions you need to take to prevent, detect and treat certain cancers before they become life altering.

We also want you to help us break the negative legacy about cancer that most children have growing up, so that future generations, (our children and grandchildren), will fear less and act more to keep healthy.

Self chec™ will connect you and those you care about to a new innovative community health partnership with other individuals, folks in the medical field, corporations, foundations and government organizations that are striving to create a common goal of personal healthcare empowerment. We believe this is the first step to keeping you and your loved ones healthy from the cancers that are preventable, treatable and curable.

Please join us in helping spread the spirit of Self chec's™ mission.

Be a Life Saver... Don't Forget to Self chec™
