 Pikeville Medical Center will be holding their Colors of Courage 5k run slash walk to raise money for its Leonard Blossom Cancer Center's patients. This event that we put on, all the money that we raise, it goes to an account that we have access to. 100% of the proceeds go to our patients. I like it that we work one on one with these patients every day and we have the means to provide that money to them instead of a higher organization or somebody else telling us, you know, a percentage of it can go to this. We go through the steps to make sure that all this money is given to our patients. My name is Aaron Crump, Chief Medical Officer at Pikeville Medical Center. The Heart and Vascular Institute, it's really an incredible program. Made incredible because of the providers, because of the technology, and because of the staff. We've truly become the leading provider of Heart and Vascular Services in Eastern Kentucky, and in fact what we do compares to anywhere in the nation. Pikeville Medical Center, when it comes to your heart, place your care in our hands. All proceeds of the 5k go directly towards helping these patients with anything they may need. One winter, the Colors of Courage Fund was even used to help one patient get a heater when they had no heat in their home. The Colors of Courage 5k is something that we've done for about a decade at the Winter of Lawson Cancer Center. It raises funds for our patients and it stays directly with them. So that's kind of the beauty of it. This was different between it and a lot of other, you know, fundraisers for whatever people may be doing. This one stays directly with our patients and they can use it for whatever they need, be it medicine, be it travel, whatever they need. So we try to do what we can to take care of them with that fund. The Colors of Courage 5k run slash walk will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 27th. Early registration is $25. Day of registration is $30. Day of race registration will be open at 7.30 a.m. on Saturday. Those wishing to register early can do so at tristateracer.com slash Colors of Courage.
