Harrah’s Pacing For The Cure Details

Pacing For The Cure is pleased to announce the next stop in the 2017 Tour Date schedule.

The next stop will take place at Harrah’s Philadelphia on Sunday, November 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event will include a walk/run around the racetrack for a ten-dollar donation, a meet and greet with the drivers before the races begin, and merchandise and other great raffle items.

You can also make your donation online at pacingforthecure.org/donate and bring your email receipt to the registration table. The surrounding local community is being invited, as are the network of supporters, and all harness racing enthusiasts. Join for a day of fun while raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

There is also a special invitation for the local community, students and alumni that may be in the area celebrating with family over the holiday to join Jeff and Janine, co-founders of Pacing For The Cure, in the walk and day at the races.

This year’s event is in honour of William Gesek, Saint Joseph alumni, who had suffered with MS for over 30 years and recently passed away on October 4, 2017. His family would have been celebrating his 80th birthday with him during the holiday weekend. His son, Jeff, Saint Joseph alumni, and his wife, Janine, Thomas Jefferson University and Drexel alumni started Pacing For The Cure to raise awareness about the disease and honour his Father’s courageous fight against MS.

Please consider forming your own walk/run teams of up to ten (10) and collect your team pledges. The Pacing For The Cure walk/run and day at the races is a great way to socialize with your team, meet new friends, and enjoy the sport of harness racing while raising money to help us fight MS.

Pacing For The Cure is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to helping people living with MS in financial need obtain necessary medical equipment and services. We also support cutting edge human immunology research to find a cure for this debilitating disease of the central nervous system.
