Dr. Joy Browne, WOR radio's talk-show host and accomplished author may not be lacing up her favorite pair of running sneakers this coming Sunday, May 7, to participate in the 5th annual 5K family fun walk/run fundraising event to benefit Winthrop's Cancer Center for Kids located in Mineola, however Dr. Browne's support of the center coupled with her support of those who work to make the event possible is indeed heartfelt.

"Congratulations on your generosity in supporting the Winthrop-University Hospital gala to offer care for kids when they need it the most: truly care without compromise," Dr. Browne said, and added, "Have a great afternoon."

Dr. Browne has generously donated an autographed copy of the second edition of Dating for Dummies to the May 7 event that will be raffled off to benefit Winthrop's Cancer Center for Kids.

The staff of the Cancer Center for Kids welcomes friends and families to partake in a fun-filled day of games and prizes, raffle prizes, face painting for kids of all ages, food for all, and surprises to boot. What joy! Registration is at 8:15 a.m. at Jonathan L. Ielpi's Firefighters Park located on Grace Avenue and the fun starts at 9:30 a.m. after the opening ceremonies and the singing of the national anthem by South Middle School student Michelle Raitzin.

Winthrop's Cancer Center for Kids is an exceptional, state-of-the-science facility, where children are given the best possible chance for recovery through superior medical care, constant nurturing and unconditional support in an environment that promotes healing.
