The third annual Bedford 5k to Beat Lung Cancer will once again challenge us all to put our feet in gear to help stomp out Lung Cancer!

To date, we raised over $11,000! Help us reach new heights this year!

The Bedford 5k to Beat Lung Cancer is about demonstrating that we as a community support those fighting or who have fought lung cancer; they are not alone.

It’s about our community, together, setting small goals and meeting the challenge so that one day, the greater goal of a cure may be achieved.

This year’s walk-run takes place Sunday, June 27 at 9 a.m.

Mail-in registrations for the 2010 Bedford 5K to Beat Lung Cancer are now available.

To register by mail, visit www.Bedford5k.com and download an individual, family, or team registration form.

Web registration will be available soon.

To show your support for the Bedford 5K to Beat Lung Cancer, why not purchase a milestone marker? For $50, you can emblazon your company logo or a personal message on a directional marker along the Bedford 5K route.

Our milestone markers are 20” x 20” signs placed along our 5k adult route and our 500m kids route that help direct runners and walkers along the course path.

They also demonstrate to our participants, our volunteers, our spectators and our community that we come together to help the Canadian Cancer Society beat lung cancer.

Milestone markers may be kept by their sponsoring company or individual as a memento of their contribution to the event.

For more information, visit www.bedford5k.com and click on “Milestone Marker Program”. Or, contact Jean St.Amand at 830-1055.

Also, plan to attend a fundraising Trivia Night on May 5th at the Hart & Thistle Pub in Historic Properties from 7 to 9 p.m.

There are lots of prizes to give away that night in addition to the great prizes from the pub itself. It’s a great time with unique multimedia trivia. Come on out for some fun and help raise more for the Bedford 5k to Beat Lung Cancer.

$10 entry fee and there are prizes for the winning team for each of six rounds.

Also, join the Bedford 5k to Beat Lung Cancer group on Facebook.
