For 22 years, Homer’s annual Run for Women, later the Breast Cancer Run, has raised awareness of breast cancer. Sponsored by Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, this year the annual August run supports another of its programs, youth services, with a new name, the Resiliency Run and Ride. The venue remains the same as last year, a beach run, walk or ride at Mariner Park on the Homer Spit.
Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic has three main programs: reproductive health care, women’s health outreach and youth services. The Resiliency Run and Ride will raise funds for one youth service, the R.E.C. (Resource Enrichment Co-Op) Room.
“I think it’s a valuable service that we do with youth outreach and providing a safe place for youth,” said KBFPC board vice president Mary Lou Kelsey.
