Saturday, September 19, Susan G. Komen Columbus will hold their 2020 Virtual More Than Pink Southeast Ohio Walk. The event is a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the funds generated by this specific event will be re-invested into the organization’s regional efforts to fight cancer.

Last year, Susan G. Komen Columbus hired their first Southeast Ohio Community Patient Navigator, Laura Grueser. Grueser works with men and women throughout the region to ensure that they have access to both preventative care medical visits as well as cancer treatment. This includes everything from providing cancer patients with gas cards to fund their trips for treatment to Columbus to providing funds for those patients to purchase groceries, and more.

WOUB spoke to Grueser in the feature embedded above. You can register online for the 2020 Virtual More Than Pink Southeast Ohio Susan G. Komen Walk until midnight on Friday, September 18. The event will be held on Facebook, and you can find more information here.
