My name is Joel Van Ginkel. I want to invite you to participate in the Debbie Van Ginkel Memorial Race benefiting The Pink Fund. In this virtual event, each participant creates their own race. Choose your distance, course, and whether to run or walk.

The Pink Fund provides financial assistance to women during their breast cancer treatment. 100% of your registration donation will go directly to The Pink Fund. If you choose to buy a shirt, a portion of the proceeds also allow women to pay their rent, utilities, and other bills while undergoing breast cancer treatment. If you can't race at this time, you can still help by buying a shirt or by making a donation to The Pink Fund. You can do either of those right here on this website. Click Donate now or Buy a Shirt. You can also donate by texting the word DEBBIE to 44-321.

This race honors my mother, Debbie Van Ginkel, who we lost to breast cancer in 1989. Breast cancer treatment is hard enough without having to worry about bills piling up or going into debt. In this particular moment, where it is especially difficult and dangerous to work while immuno-suppressed, this race give us a chance to help. Join me as we Run For Debbie and for so many other moms, sisters, and daughters!
