Over 1,000 runners joined the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation during the 13th annual Runyon 5K at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
The race gives people a chance to run in support of someone they know who has been affected by cancer or if they themselves have been affected.
Danielle Correia, a participant in Saturday’s race, says she ran for her father, who died from stage 4 lung cancer 10 years ago – and for herself. She has had cervical cancer twice.
"I went through chemo. I battled it. I'm a survivor thankfully. I know people who aren't so lucky, but I am one of the lucky ones, “ said Correia.
All of the funds raised will go directly to supporting innovative cancer research.
