The LOVE Walk/Run raises money for innovative and groundbreaking breast cancer research at DSLRF that focuses on prevention and finding the cause with a goal to, “stop breast cancer before it even starts,†said Dr. Susan Love, president and medical director of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. “Here’s your chance to support a local breast cancer organization that has a national reach.â€
The Fourth Annual Love Walk/Run is organized in partnership with the Pacific Palisades Junior Women’s Club and is sponsored in part by: City National Bank, Merrill Lynch, On Assignment, CareerBuilder, and HUB International.
The 5K course takes participants through the beautiful Huntington neighborhood of the Pacific Palisades and is an opportunity to join local breast cancer survivors and other members of the community interested in eradicating this disease.
Over the past three years, the Love Walk has raised more than $150,000 for the DSLRF all of which is used to fund research that is moving breast cancer beyond a cure.
After the walk/run, a family food festival featuring local food trucks including Lets Be Frank, Coolhaus Ice Cream and Dels Lemonade! plus activities for all ages will be available for the entire community to enjoy.
