This year’s Art & Garden Fun Run benefiting Unite for HER will take place at Pocopson Elementary School on Saturday, 4/30/22, and will start at 10AM. There are 3 Separate Runs and an Awards Ceremony for the top 3 finishers in each grade and in the Adult/Alumni Run. All top finishers will receive a medal.
Unite for HER’s mission is to enrich the health and well-being of those diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancers – for life – by funding and delivering integrative therapies.
Pocopson Elementary School will also be eligible for a monetary Student Unite for HER grant - this grant is made available to student families and school or club/organization staff who have an immediate family member diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer within the last 3 years, are experiencing a recurrence, or have received a metastatic diagnosis.
Transforming lives, one Wellness Day at a time
At each Unite for HER Virtual Wellness Day, breast and ovarian cancer patients learn about the benefits of integrative therapies and create a personal plan for incorporating these fully-funded services into their treatment and recovery. Trained professionals lead discussions on the uses and benefits of acupuncture, massage, Reiki, yoga, meditation, nutrition, professional counseling (including sexual health), and caregiver support. Attendees receive a HER Care Box, delivered to their home, full of healthy products, resources, educational materials, and more. Participants learn about the healing properties of foods with an interactive presentation hosted by Unite for HER Nutrition Manager Erin Pellegin RD, LDN. In addition to these helpful resources, Unite for HER also provides a wellness passport to participants to cover one year of treatment costs from approved providers for the therapies they feel will best support their everyday health and wellness.

"Without the funding from Unite for HER,
I would have not been able to receive the
acupuncture treatments that relieved my pain."
