Simply Fit Personal Training’s owner, Michael Dubas has had the pleasure of training and becoming friends with a young man by the name of Christian Siems. Christian will celebrate his 4th anniversary with his new heart on April 25th. He is living proof that organ donation saves lives. Two years ago Michael and Christian decided to put together a race to help spread awareness of organ donation. With the support of the town of Huntington and its officials, this charitable event has become a reality and is now embarking on our 2nd Annual 5K Run To Save Lives! https://www.elitefeats.com/upcoming-detail.asp?ID=20115

The Lap4Life Run/Walk at Chadwick Lake is held to increase awareness about desmoid tumors and work to raise funds for desmoid tumor research and organ donation.

The hope is that the funds raised will be instrumental in finding a cure for desmoids tumors and to improve outcomes for organ donor recipients. https://lap4life.org/

This turnkey event is focused around one goal: to enroll as many willing New Yorkers as possible as organ donors in a single day.

It is a time for congregations to learn about the organ donor shortage, celebrate life and pray for those affected by donation and transplantation.
