Christian Health Service of Syracuse (CHSOS), a local medical mission, is excited to be hosting our 5 Annual Good Samaritan Run/Walk 5k & 10k event on Saturday, April 14 at Long Branch Park in Liverpool. We would really like you to be a part of our special event.

CHSOS is a nonprofit organization that strives to make primary healthcare available and affordable to all patients, regardless of their financial needs or level of insurance coverage. Our mission is to reach the medically underserved of Central New York with high quality healthcare coupled with the love of Jesus Christ and prayer. Presently, about 70 percent of our patients are financially disadvantaged or are medically underserved and on Medicaid, Medicare or are self-paying. The Good Samaritan Run/Walk, our main fundraiser, has raised over $50,000 the last four years, and has helped support an additional 500 patient visits per year to individuals and their families who cannot afford primary healthcare otherwise.

The fifth annual Good Samaritan Run/Walk begins at 10 a.m. The cost is $25 for the 5k (children 12 years old and under are free) and $30 for the 10k. The certified course will be an out and back on the West Shore Trail of Onondaga Lake, and the regular 5k will be on the East Shore trail of the lake. The event includes a Kids’ Sprint ($10 per child) for ages 5-12 beginning at 9:30 a.m., with an awards ceremony, concession stands, family-oriented activities, live music and vendors included at the event. All proceeds benefit the Christian Health Service of Syracuse.

Registration information can be obtained at www.goodsamaritanrun.org. You can also email us at goodsamaritanrun@gmail.com.

We thank you for any support and assistance you can provide and we hope you will come and be part of our event. We look forward to seeing many college students and faculty.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” – Matthew 25:4
