EDINBURG, Texas – DHR Health is excited to once again host the Purple Project 5K: A Uniting Run for All Cancers event, which will take place at 8:00 a.m., on Sunday, June 25, at the Edinburg Municipal Park located at 714 S. Raul Longoria Road. This meaningful event not only promotes Cancer awareness and support but also aligns with the significance of June as “National Cancer Survivors Month.” DHR Health invites cancer survivors, caretakers, family members, and friends, to join in this empowering event, uniting individuals from all walks of life to honor survivors, remember those who have battled cancer, and demonstrate unwavering support for those currently fighting the disease. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Renaissance Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization of DHR Health, which helps underserved cancer patients with various financial needs and assistance.
Purple DHR 1“This event serves as a powerful testament to DHR Health’s commitment to cancer advocacy and raising awareness within our community and region,” said Anabel Arellano Rodriguez, Director of Development for DHR Health’s Advance Care Center. “We want this event to provide a platform for cancer survivors, patients, families, and the community to come together and share their stories, experiences, and hope.”
Registration is already underway. A free Purple Project 5K t-shirt will be given to those who early register by June 2. Registration can be easily done online at www.dhrhealth.com/purpleproject5K.
The registration fee is $15 for cancer survivors and $25 for runners/walkers. Additionally, medals will be given to the first 300 registered participants who cross the 5K finish line.

Purple DHR 2“This event demonstrates our solidarity and determination to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients and survivors. The atmosphere will be filled with encouragement, compassion, and the shared goal of raising cancer awareness and support,” said Clara Chapa, DHR Health Advance Care Center Community Outreach Coordinator.
According to the National Cancer Institute, an individual is considered a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis, through the balance of his or her life. Every survivorship experience is unique as they may face challenges during and after treatments.
“I am grateful for a second chance at life and for the opportunity to celebrate hope and improved health at the Purple Project 5K,” said Lydia Molina, a cancer survivor.
