Breathe Strong: Break the Stigma

Columbus, OH
Breathe Strong 5K is more than a run or walk—it’s a movement to honor lives touched by lung cancer and to fight for a future with earlier detection, better treatments, and stronger support. Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths and often shows little to no warning until it has progressed, making awareness and education lifesaving. At the event, we will provide critical information about lung cancer risks, warning signs, screening, and information on support resources for patients and families. All proceeds from the Breathe Strong 5K will directly support lung cancer research and family support groups through a donation to the Blue Beautiful Skies Fund for Lung Cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center- The James. Donations help fund breakthroughs, offer hope, and remind everyone that they don't face this disease alone. Together, we walk to remember, to educate, and to help every breath count.

The “Good, Better, Best” recognition – awarded in honor of two BCSC Hall of Fame, long-time educators (Ross Wallace and Chuck Grimes) – goes to a BCSC employee that has gone “above and beyond” and “outside the box” in their passionate attempt to make education as positive and memorable of an experience as possible for the students they serve. Our hope is that proceeds from this race will continue to pay tribute to the legacy of not only Mr. Wallace/Mr. Grimes and this award’s recipients, but also draw attention to deserving educators everywhere for a long time to come.
