Organiser's Description

WERE BACK FOR YEAR 2! JOIN US FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL 5K WALK/RUN FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS, HOSTED BY DR. KIM LEVERETT BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR AND OWNER OF A KICK ABOVE: A PERSONAL TRAINING STUDIO.

KIM SPENT 10 YEARS AS A FULL-TIME PHARMACIST BEFORE FOLLOWING HER PASSION FOR FITNESS AND WELLNESS. SHE TRANSITIONED INTO PERSONAL TRAINING TO HELP OTHERS MOVE BEYOND MANAGING SYMPTOMS TO TRULY LIVING WELL. IN 2013, AFTER A ROUTINE MAMMOGRAM, KIM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. HER TREATMENT INCLUDED SIX ROUNDS OF CHEMOTHERAPY AND 35 ROUNDS OF RADIATION. REMARKABLY, THROUGHOUT HER TREATMENT, SHE CONTINUED TO TRAIN CLIENTS AND MAINTAIN HER OWN WORKOUTS OFTEN WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING WHAT SHE WAS FACING. KIM CREDITS HER FAITH IN CHRIST, HER FITNESS FOUNDATION, AND THE SUPPORT OF HER CLIENTS FOR CARRYING HER THROUGH.

NOW CANCER-FREE SINCE 2014, KIM IS ON A MISSION TO EMPOWER OTHERS TO PRIORITIZE THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS. THIS ANNUAL EVENT IS HER WAY OF GIVING BACK, SPREADING AWARENESS, AND HONORING ALL THOSE IMPACTED BY BREAST CANCER. NET PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE ARKANSAS CANCER COALITION. LETS CONTINUE TO STRIDE TOGETHER FOR A CURE!
