The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation New Jersey Race for the Cure will be held on Sunday, October 17, 2004 at Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Route 206, Princeton, NJ. The NJAWBO-Mercer chapter is supporting the endeavor with a team to participate in the event. The co-ed walk begins at 11:15AM. Team photos are earlier.

When you get to an event you are participating in; you have a choice. Most NJAWBO team members will be doing the team participant 5K walk ( which is approximately 3.2 miles). If you are not able to walk that distance, you can select team participant- 1 mile health walk. Both walks start together as one team and branch off later on.

Parking for the event is on Lenox Drive, off Princeton Pike in Lawrenceville. Shuttle buses take you to the Bristol-Myers Squibb facility. Directions are available at the website.

Team members will receive Race for the Cure tee shirts and numbered ID bibs. Each team member will be contacted with additional information e.g. where to meet, prior to the event. Sponsors of the event have tents and booths with information and samples to give away. You can visit the booths before or after the race.

If you have any questions, contact Suzie Rosenblum, team captain, at 609-771-1779 or by e-mail at sprcpa@aol.com and put Race for the Cure in the subject line.
