***Track Start and Finish***

THE EVENT

The 14th Annual Kilometers for Karyn combines a fun, competitive event with a worthy cause. Since 1997, Kilometers for Karyn has honored the life of Karyn Glick by providing much needed financial assistance to those organizations that fight children's leukemia and pediatric cancer.

Degnan Park is located next to West Orange High School. Come join us for a fun-filled family event where there is truly something for everyone--a 5K run, a 2-mile walk and a Fun Run for the kids. All events finish in Degnan Park, and all participants are treated to a wide array of amenities.

WHO BENEFITS?

The Karyn Research Fund has committed itself to supporting the research program of the Hackensack University Medical Center by raising over $275,000. Grants from The Karyn Research Fund will be utilized to establish Pediatric Genetic Oncology laboratories.

The primary aims of the program will be the early detection, improved treatment, and ultimately, prevention of pediatric cancers, in the hope and anticipation that one day soon a tolerable and effective cure will be found in the hope that no one will lose another daughter, son, sibling, friend or valued member of our community to leukemia.
