According to the Canadian Cancer Society, 470 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every week; one in every seven men will develop prostate cancer during his lifetime. Harry’s Spring Run-Off aims to change those statistics by raising funds for prostate cancer research each year.

Sponsored by Harry Rosen and hosted by High Park, participants run or walk in an 8k or 5k race, with all proceeds benefiting the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation.

Though you’re too late to register for this year’s event, you can certainly cheer on participants as they run or walk to raise funds for prostate cancer research! The 8k starts at 10am, and the 5k starts at 11:15am. You can make a donation to the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation online, and of course, you can start training now so that you’re ready to participate in the 2012 Harry’s Spring Run-Off!
