Seventy-four walkers and runners, along with a couple of dogs clad in pink shirts, socks, shoes, coats, tutus, and strollers braved chilly temperatures to participate in the 5th Annual Paint It Pink (PIP) 5K/10K Fun Run for Early Detection on Saturday, October 5.
The PIP Run, which is sponsored by Glacier Bank and St. John's Lutheran Hospital, is part of a month-long effort to raise funds and awareness for the early detection of breast cancer. All race and fundraising proceeds go toward a fund that will continue to provide area uninsured women with free mammograms.
The 2013 PIP Fun Run raised $1,610.00. Winding up the month is a women's educational talk with Dr. Anne Camber and Dana Gershenoff, RD at the Montana Athletic Club on October 30th. _______________________________________
