Walk & Race for NECT Cancer Fund Presented by SPIROL International

Saturday, August 10, 2019
9:00 a.m. start time
Black Dog Bar & Grille
146 Park Rd., Putnam, CT

Join us for a fun, family friendly event to benefit those fighting cancer in Northeast Connecticut. In addition to our 5 Mile Walk & Race, this year we are also bringing back our .5 Mile Kids Fun Run! It's a wonderful way to remember, celebrate and honor those who have battled cancer, while supporting those who are fighting their own battle now. 

2019 Ambassador

2019 marks the 31st year of this event, and the NECT Cancer Fund Race and Walk Committee has selected Rich Mineo as this year’s Ambassador. Diagnosed with follicular b-cell lymphoma in the spring of 2016, Rich has been a frequent visitor at DKH. His treatment plan consisted of two years of immunotherapy which he completed in August 2018. With the expectation of needing more treatment down the road, Rich knows first-hand how important it is to keep cancer treatment in our community. He is committed to supporting the NECT Cancer Fund to help DKH in its mission to ensure that everyone in our community has access to critical cancer related health services regardless of their financial circumstances.
