Thank you for making this year's Florida Bank
Miles for Moffitt a success!
Nearly 4,000 runners and walkers crossed the finish line to help us fight cancer at the Fourth Annual Florida Bank Miles for Moffitt at the University of South Florida. Hundreds of participants signed the "Letter to Cancer" banner, putting all the diseases known as "cancer" on notice that Moffitt is Tampa's answer to the end of cancer.
The Five-Mile, 5K and One-Mile races on May 9 were capped off by the Gerdau Ameristeel Cancer Survivor Tribute. Survivors marched onto stage to a rousing rendition of "I Will Survive" performed by the band, Road Trip, with special lyrics written for the occasion by Maureen Kolosky.
New this year was the addition of Ultra Miles for Moffitt, a 12-hour endurance run that began at 8 p.m. the night before on the USF Track Field and finished alongside the five-mile racers on May 9.
Both races benefit research at Moffitt Cancer Center, which has received $230,000 from the event since it began in 2006. Proceeds from the 2009 race are still being tabulated but are expected to add another $125,000 for funding cancer research at Moffitt. Thanks to the support of our many sponsors, one hundred percent of each registration fee goes directly to research at the Moffitt Cancer Center.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, especially Florida Bank, Title Sponsor of Miles for Moffitt at USF, which encourages everyone to become financially as well as physically fit. Please visit one of their 10 convenient bank locations and let them show you how. During the month of May, the bank will continue to donate $25 to Moffitt for any new account opened that mentions Miles for Moffitt.
The event surpassed expectations, attracting 1,000 more participants than last year. The enormous turnout, even in this difficult economic time, demonstrates the passion in this community for defeating cancer.
