SHOC Foundation 12th Annual SHOC Walk & Run will be Aug. 6 at Latus Motors Harley-Davidson in Gladstone in support of ovarian and gynecologic cancer research.
Dedicated to finding a cure, the Sherie Hildreth Ovarian Cancer Foundation has donated $730,000 for ovarian and gynecologic cancer research at the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute. Sherie Hildreth’s five-year battle with ovarian cancer ended in 2009, but her legacy lives on. Sherie was a lifelong member of Congregation Beth Israel, where several family members remain members. “Ashkenazi Jewish women are at higher risk of the BRCA gene mutation, which was the case with my mom,” says Ashley Hildreth, who serves as executive director of SHOC.
The SHOC Walk and Run commemorates and celebrates her courageous fight, her will to support other women living with gynecologic cancers, her tenacity to raise awareness of these diseases and her relentless pursuit to raise the funds necessary to find a cure.
Participants will enjoy a beautiful 5K/10K walk or run or a 1-mile family walk alongside the Clackamas River and through the city of Gladstone. A warm pancake and griddle breakfast will welcome back participants as they return from the course. Gynecologic cancer survivors may indulge in an exclusive sit-down breakfast at their leisure.
Other attractions include massage, the Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers, face painting, vendors, photo booth, the Rose City Rollers and the Rose City Hogs.
The event begins at 7:30 am with an opening ceremony facilitated by KATU’s Rhonda Shelby, and the races start at 8 am.
Online registration is open until Aug. 3 and on-site registration will be available Aug. 5 and the morning of the event, Aug. 6. Early bird pricing is available until July 15 and discounted pricing is available for groups of four or more.
We will have the Sellwood Park Pool to ourselves on Saturday, Aug. 6, from 5:15 to 6:15 pm. Afterward, we’ll gather for Havdalah singing, a story, and BYO picnic under the trees.
Shabbat in the Pool is free, but in order to defray the major cost of renting the pool/lifeguards, please consider making a donation of $5–$15.
RSVP here here by Monday, Aug. 1 with family name(s) and ages of any children so we can reserve enough lifeguards.
