Karen's Walk and 5K Run ~ Results

• Karen's Walk and 5K Rn :- Run 3.1 Miles

Karens Walk began over 12 years ago when Karen Decker, a close friend of the fraternity passed away from postpartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a rare heart disease that affects mostly pregnant women.

Karen was only 22 years old and left behind her six-week-old daughter, Hannah. In the beginning, Phi Sigma Pi created the Walk for Hannah, meant to raise money for Hannahs medical costs.

The Walk for Hannah subsequently became Karens Walk, and has since raised over $25,000 for cardiomyopathy research.

2014 marks the 12th Annual Karens Walk.

This year, our goal is to attract at least 100 participants and raise $2000. In addition to meeting our fundraising goal, we hope that the 5K will raise awareness for cardiomyopathy as it affects the lives of many.

It is also Phi Sigma Pis goal to promote exercise and the practice of living a healthy lifestyle on campus and in the Rochester community.

Karens Walk is entirely student run and our cause is something that Phi Sigma Pi is extremely passionate about.

This years Karens Walk will be hosted on April 26th at 10am.

Registration will be from 8:30-9:45, as well as bib pick up.

The registration tents will be at the Nathaniel Rochester Field at the RIT campus, located behind the residence halls.
