SUMMARY:Fe for a Cure
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for one of the region’s most fun\, family friendly and affordable running and walking events – the Fe for a Cure! This year’s race will be held on Saturday\, September 20th\, 2025 and will start and finish at Tammy Walker Cancer Center. In addition to a USATF Certified 5K race a new one mile fun run was added in 2024. It makes the Fe For a Cure Race/Walk an event the entire family can participate in. The 5K race will be starting at 8:00a.m. with the one mile fun run following at 8:10a.m. The Fe For a Cure 5K was the first ever USATF Certified race held in Salina (2022) and along with the Salina Crossroads Marathon is one of only two USATF Certified races in Salina. \nThanks to the generosity of sponsors\, 100% of your entry fee directly supports cancer patients through services and equipment needs at the Tammy Walker Cancer Center. \nEvent organizers have set a goal of having 1\,000 registered participants this year. Last year’s event drew a record 834 registered participants. Registration is $25 for ages 12 and older and $10 for ages 11 and younger. All who register will receive a commemorative race t-shirt. Cancer survivors who register will receive specially designated t-shirts. \nLast year the event raised $26\,439 through registrations\, donations\, and ribbons sales. An anonymous donor also contributed $30\,000\, bringing the total raised to a record $56\,439! Here are some of the programs that funds raised from the Fe For a Cure help to support: \nPatient meal program Patients undergoing long chemotherapy infusions are offered a meal (lunch)\, Monday thru Thursday. The patient meal program started in November 2022 and over 3800 meals have been served. What an amazing gift to our patients! During the school year the patient meal program provides our Project Search interns the opportunity to learn work skills and business soft-skills with the goal of helping them gain employment. During the summer we have volunteers who help out.\nAppearance center Patients are able to get wigs\, hats\, scarves\, and other items at no cost. Wigs and other items from the appearance center can help empower patients and help them feel more comfortable and confident as well as provide a sense of normalcy during treatment.\nTransportation assistance Transportation shouldn’t be a roadblock to cancer treatment. Our partnership with OCCK allows us to offer transportation services to those who need it at no cost.\nMorrison House The Morrison House is a guest residence for those living outside Salina with a loved one who is a patient at Salina Regional Health Center and outpatients undergoing treatment at the Tammy Walker Cancer Center. \nTo volunteer to help with Fe for a Cure\, contact Daniel Craig at dacraig@srhc.com or 785-452-4848.
