From Lauren M. Krauze, for About.com

Wake up early on Saturday, May 3rd and join more than 40,000 men, women, children and families in Times Square to kick off the 2008 Revlon Run/Walk for Women.

This powerful and widely-celebrated 5K (3.1 mile) run/walk through Midtown and Central Park supports research and treatment for cancers that afflict women and their loved ones every day.

Since 1993, the Revlon Run/Walk has developed into one of the nation’s largest fundraising programs. Thus far, the event has raised and allocated over $40 million in funds to support the development of cancer treatments, outreach programs, and counseling efforts.

This year, celebrity hosts, committed volunteers, cancer survivors and their families, friends and supporters will be dancing, singing, cheering, walking and running in this enthusiastic and united effort to beat cancer and find a cure. Registration is open online until May 1st, so check out the information and links below if you want to be a part of this phenomenal event.
