April 27 could be a big day for both fitness and philanthropy.<\/p>\n

UNMC, UNMC Physicians and The Nebraska Medical Center are co-sponsoring two fitness events aimed at raising money and awareness.<\/p>\n

The events are:<\/p>\n

Nebraska’s Fourth Annual Lymphomathon<\/b><\/p>\n

Nebraska’s fourth Lymphomathon 5K walk will be held April 27 at Mahoney State Park. The free event, hosted by the Lymphoma Research Foundation, begins at 10 a.m., with registration at 9 a.m. at the park pavilion.<\/p>\n

At 3:30 p.m. Friday, runners will tackle a three-mile course around campus while walkers will trek 1.5 miles. Registration, followed by quick remarks, starts at 3:30 p.m. at the Ruth and Bill Scott Student Plaza. The “Hustle” gets under way at 3:45 p.m. The food drive runs April 22 through May 10. <\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>Mahoney State Park is located just off of I-80 at exit 426, between Omaha and Lincoln. <\/p>\n

The Lymphomathon is a fun-filled, non-competitive event that offers individuals and teams an opportunity to walk in honor of those whose lives have been touched by lymphoma. A free barbecue will be held for all attendees following the walk.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the walk will benefit Nebraskans through free patient services and research grants. To date, the event has raised $250,000 for research.<\/p>\n

You can start a team, join a team, sign up as an individual or make a donation, by going to the event website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strollers and friendly leashed pets are welcome. To access Mahoney State Park, vehicles need to display a park permit. Daily permits are available at the park gate for $5.<\/p>\n

Bike for Sight<\/b><\/p>\n

On April 27, UNMC will host the 2013 Bike for Sight at Miller’s Landing on the downtown Omaha riverfront. The charity bike tour aims to raise awareness and funds to support a vision restoring cataract camp in Addis, Ethiopia. <\/p>\n

For every registered rider, UNMC’s International Division of Ophthalmology will perform one free cataract surgery on a patient living needlessly blind in Ethiopia. <\/p>\n

Three hundred and seventy-four registered riders participated in the 2012 Bike for Sight and more than $8,600 was raised for a cataract camp in Cap Haitien, Haiti in May of last year. See footage of last year’s ride and the sight-restoring surgeries performed in Haiti as a result of its riders at www.bikeforsight.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Post-ride event attendees are invited to enjoy live music and beverages.<\/p>\n

With a non-competitive format, both casual and serious riders of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the 2013 Bike for Sight. The event will begin at 9 a.m. and participants can choose between 5, 10, 20 and 40-mile routes. Pre-registration is available at www.bikeforsight.org<\/a> or in person the day of the event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
