Run for Dad - NJ

RUN FOR DAD is a community event organized by the American Cancer Society to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer. Held yearly every Father's Day in Mercer County, it honors Frank Simms and others who have lost their battle against the disease. With over 1,000 participants, the family-friendly event includes a 5K Run, a 2-mile walk, and children's races. Prostate cancer affects many, with New Jersey having the third-highest incidence in the US, especially among African American men. However, early detection boasts a nearly 100% 5-year survival rate, proving education and awareness are vital.
