Event summary

Join the community in Glenview, Cook, on Saturday, September 14, 2024, for the vibrant "Run or Stroll, Wear Pink for Nicole 5K." This heartwarming event kicks off at 8:30 AM with rolling start times, allowing participants to take their strides in support of Nicole Pinelli Kucera and all those battling breast cancer. The race features a 5K distance, and while it has sold out, you can still contribute to the cause by donating until October 1st.

Participants are encouraged to wear pink in solidarity, whether running solo or as part of a team. Remember to bring your reusable water bottle, as this eco-friendly race will not have a water station; however, a water tank will be available on the course for refills. This inspiring event not only promotes fitness but also raises funds for the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, aiming to reach a fundraising goal of $10,000. Together, let's make strides toward a cure and support Nicole's journey!

FROM NICOLE PINELLI KUCERA

ON JUNE 8, 2023, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INFLAMMATORY HER2+ BREAST CANCER. SINCE THEN, I HAVE UNDERGONE 6 TREATMENTS OF CHEMO, HAD A MASTECTOMY, DONE 25 ROUNDS OF RADIATIONS AND RECEIVE INFUSIONS EVERY 3 WEEKS. MY JOURNEY SO FAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY SUPPORTIVE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY. I AM GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE CURE EFFORTS. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND FROM THE HEARTS OF MY FAMILY AND DEAR FRIENDS FOR SUPPORTING THIS EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT CAUSE. MY GOAL FOR THIS 5K IS TO RAISE $10,000.00 FOR ROBERT H. LURIE COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. THANK YOU EVERYONE! NICOLE
