Event details: Boston Area Lung Cancer 5K Walk
Description
In Massachusetts alone, over 3,600 people have died from lung cancer in the last year. Despite lung cancer quadrupling the mortality rates of other cancers such as breast cancer, annually, research and funding dedicated to finding a cure remains scarce.
The fourth BOSTON AREA LUNG CANCER 5K WALK will be held at Castle Island, in South Boston on Saturday, November 7, 2009. On site registration begins at 10:00 AM and the walk starts at 11:00 AM, rain or shine. For those who are unable to come to Castle Island in South Boston, registration as a satellite walker is encouraged. All proceeds from the event benefit the LUNGevity Foundation, the nation’s leading private supporter of lung cancer research. Pre-registration is currently open at www.lungevity.org/bostonwalk.

Castle Island
Fort Independence, a pentagonal five-bastioned, granite fort built between 1834 and 1851, is the dominating feature of Castle Island. This 22-acre urban park is connected to the mainland by both pedestrian and vehicular causeways. Pleasure Bay, the M Street Beach and Carson Beach form a three mile segment of parkland and beach along the South Boston shoreline of Dorchester Bay. Carson Beach offers some beautiful views and great public amenities: a rehabilitated Mothers Rest, public restrooms, exhibit space, first aid and lifeguard functions, while the outdoor courtyards allow space for passive recreation. Carson Beach also features a walkway which allows one to walk, bike, or run along the waters edge from Castle Island to the Kennedy Library. 617-727-5290Links
