5K proceeds go toward costs of mammograms

The sixth annual 5K Walk for Diane, in honor of the late South Brunswick resident Diane Goodwin, will be held Oct. 19 at Buccleuch Park, Easton Avenue and Huntington Street, across from Saint Peter’s University Hospital, New Brunswick.

Check-in begins at 8 a.m. The walk begins at 9 a.m.

The walk promotes awareness of the early detection of breast cancer and helps women without financial means to receive yearly and potentially lifesaving mammograms to screen for breast cancer.

All walkers are asked for a $10 registration fee and to raise $70 — half the cost of a screening mammogram — by using the online fundraising tool on the Amy Foundation website at www.amyfoundation.com.
