Charity Walks In The Area

What better way to stay in shape and give back to the community than by participating in a local charity run?

Westchester County is hosting six local runs in the month of October alone, not to mention a few larger scale ones that are hosted in the City and which many of the organizations on campus help raise money for.

“I did a lot of community service work when I was in high school, but being able to go with a group of my closest friends from college to participate in something that I personally had ties to was amazing,” said junior childhood education major Kristen DeRosa about the Breast Cancer Walk.

In the upcoming month get ready to grab your running shoes and join the locals for a race and philanthropy that speaks to you!

On Oct. 27, the communities surrounding Rockefeller State Park are hosting the Rocky Races to help support the upkeep of their beautiful parks and hiking trails for all to enjoy fresh air and the outdoors in the years to come. You can find out more information about this race at http://www.rockysraces.org.

Oct. 21 is a day for the animals, literally. Muskoot Farm is hosting its third annual Muskoot Farm Run to increase awareness of the weekly Muscoot Farmer’s market and other local farmer’s markets in the area. So if you are one that loves fresh veggies, jams and farm animals, come to the farm and enjoy a brisk morning walk! Visit http://runthefarm.org for more information.

Harry Chapin once said, “When in doubt, do something!” It’s these words that the Run Against Hunger charity lives by. This year on Oct. 21, the Harry Chapin Run Against Hunger will host its thirty-second annual run. With all the amazing things that they have done, it’s no wonder that it has been hosted this long. Come out and help raise money for those with empty bellies. Information is available at http://www.runagainsthunger.com.

Diabetes is something that affects thousands of people today, probably including someone close to you. It is a serious condition; People with diabetes have high blood sugar because their body cannot move sugar into fat, liver, and muscle cells to be stored for energy. This is because either their pancreas does not make enough insulin, their cells do not respond to insulin normally, or a combination of both. If you would like to help raise money for a cure come and join the Chief Paul J. Olivia Memorial on Oct. 2 in Valhalla for their 5k walk, more information can be found online at http://www.active.com.

The Westchester Medical Center is having its eighth annual running festival on Oct. 7 to help raise money for the Westchester Medical Foundation Center which helps fund the research that takes place at the hospital.  To help the many marvels in medical history find its next breakthrough sign up at http://www.genesisadventures.com/

With Halloween around the corner, everyone is out seeking their perfect costume. Grab your favorite then trek down to Sleepy Hollow to participate in their annual Rivertown Runner Sleepy Hollow 10k. This run is unique in that it isn’t for any specific charity. Instead they host this run to help support multiple local charities within Westchester. Join in on the fun at http://www.rivertownrunners.org.

So, ladies and gents, before heading up to the townhouses in those questionable costumes, pay it forward by participating in one of these runs to help those less fortunate.
