PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 24, 2016 -- The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP), an independent non-profit organization, is excited to announce its upcoming Medical Heroes Appreciation 5K Fun Run & Walk in Philadelphia, PA to honor the volunteers who give the gift of participation in clinical research and to raise awareness about the importance of clinical research in advancing public health.
The event will take place on Monday, June 27, 2016 from 6:30-8:15am, in conjunction with the DIA 2016 meeting. The start/finish location is at 1 Boathouse Row. Participants are encouraged to register early as space is limited. To register, visit ciscrp.org/medhero5k-philadelphia. On behalf of every 5K registrant, the Greater Gift Initiative will also donate one vaccine to a child in need.
"Through their participation in clinical trials each year, millions of people are Medical Heroes, helping to advance public health and knowledge about disease and new treatments," said CISCRP's Founder and Board Chair Ken Getz. "With this special event, we continue to recognize their gift of participation, raise public awareness, and express our gratitude and admiration."
Event sponsors and supporters see the 5K as a unique opportunity to celebrate clinical study volunteers for their participation. "We're proud to partner with CISCRP on many of its public and patient serving initiatives including the Medical Heroes Appreciation 5K, which gives us the opportunity to put our best foot forward in recognizing and expressing gratitude for clinical trial volunteers," said Paulo Moreira, VP - GCO, Head of External Innovation at EMD Serono, which has served as a Champion supporter for each Medical Heroes Appreciation 5K since the initiative's 2014 inception.
