Run For The Bucket Race Description

5K Run/walk to support CVS research at the Medical College of Wisconsin as well as CVSA's important initiatives such as the publication of the adult guidelines and increasing our doctor referral lists.  

 

From a past participant: "CVSA helped me by showing me that I wasn't alone in this fight. It was several years after I was diagnosed when I found the CVSA website and interacted with other sufferers and parents of sufferers on a question board.  Finding out I was not the only one and that there are people out there that understand what I'm going through was very comforting."  Candy O Hicks

 

New features this year:

  • Refer a friend to our race and receive a $3 credit from your original registration purchase.  You can refer as many people as you want.  If you refer enough people you will run or walk for free!!!
  • Share our event on Facebook during registration and get $3 off your registration fee.

CVSA helped me by showing me that I wasn't alone in this fight. It was several years after I was diagnosed when I found the CVSA website and interacted with other sufferers and parents of sufferers on a question board, I believe that was on the site. Finding out I was not the only one and that there are people out there that understand what I'm going through was very comforting.

Experience of a lifetime

It was my first time running this race. Always wanted to run this particular race. Debbie and her group of volunteers did a superb job organizing the event. Though it was raining, the spirits of the runners, supporters, and volunteers made sunshine come out of the building. DEFINITELY a race one should do to walk along one who is effected by this illness or they themselves are effected.
