The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)
is proud to announce that we have been
designated a Marine Corps Marathon (MCM)
Charity Partner! BCAN has been allocated
25 guaranteed entries for the 38th Annual
Marine Corps Marathon to be held on
October 27, 2013; an event that sold
out in 2 hours and 41 minutes in 2012.
We are looking at building “Team BCAN”
to not only run in the event and
raise awareness for bladder cancer
but to raise needed funds for
fostering research and patient
education. According to the
Marine Corps Marathon,
there is not a required qualifying
time to participate in the event,
but all runners should maintain
at least a 14 minute mile pace.
In order to become a member
of “Team BCAN” and officially
have a slot in this year’s race,
you must be registered through BCAN.
No federal or Marine Corps endorsement is implied.
If you are interested in becoming
a member of BCAN’s team or have
any questions, please contact
Larry Rzepka, BCAN’s Executive Director, at lrzepka@bcan.org.
