Join the party when 3,000 walkers and runners rock the Seacoast Cancer 5K on Sunday, September 22nd in Dover, NH. One of the region’s largest fundraising events, it’s a celebration of life and the lifesaving work of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital’s Seacoast Cancer Center. The Seacoast Cancer 5K is a positive experience from beginning to end, with hundreds of neighbors, friends, and family lining the route to cheer. And at the start/finish line, you’ll find music, food, and activities for the kids. Best of all, every dollar raised supports cancer care right here in our community. Proceeds from the Seacoast Cancer 5K support the programs and services of the Survivorship, Health and Wellness Center allowing patients to live their lives to the fullest during cancer treatment and through survivorship.
