Run, walk, race for melanoma awareness

Online registration is now open for the 12th annual Daniel’s Race, a 5K run/walk at Churchville-Chili Middle School on Saturday, April 8.

Participants can register or donate by clicking the register link at www.daniels5k.com. The non-refundable registration fee is $25, and all pre-registrants will receive a free Daniel’s Race t-shirt. Registration packets and race bibs can be picked up at the Rochester Running Company on Mt. Hope Avenue in Rochester.

Sponsorship information is also available on the site. Sponsors can see their logo on the race day shirt, flags and/or PowerPoint presentation.

The race is in memory of Daniel Myslivecek, who lost his two plus year battle with Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma. The community united as Daniel ran the first 5K in March 2006 and passed away that June. Daniel’s dream was to serve others and his legacy has raised melanoma awareness.

Each year race proceeds are donated to an organization that helps children with life-threatening illnesses while raising melanoma awareness. This year the campaign will wrap up a $25,000 pledge to sponsor an alcove where doctors/nurses interact with families of patients in the new Golisano Children’s Hospital and help grant a local child’s dream through Make-A-Wish Western New York.
