Community Volunteers in Medicine welcomes community members, patients, volunteers, and all who want to honor Dr. Mary Wirshup to the 5k Run/Walk/Family Fun Day. For those who wish to honor Dr. Mary, creative costumes are encouraged but not required! Prizes will be awarded to runners in several categories including best costume and best team costume.
Proceeds from this event will support the work that Dr. Mary Wirshup championed at CVIM: providing free, comprehensive health care to low-income, working members of our community. This event honors Dr. Mary’s legacy as a friend to every patient and volunteer, a passionate advocate for healthcare access for all, and an extraordinarily skilled, compassionate physician.
All event costs will be covered by a friend.
CVIM provides free, high quality healthcare to uninsured working people with low incomes to help them live healthy, productive lives and to assure health equity in the Chester County Region.
*If you have chronic medical conditions, please check with your physician before participating*
