 Cornerstone celebrating Recovery Month with 5K Run/Walk web posted August 31, 2009 GREENWOOD – Cornerstone is sponsoring its first-ever "Steps For Sobriety" 5K Fun Run/Walk in celebration of national Recovery Month. The race will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, September 19 in Uptown Greenwood. "Recovery Month highlights the benefits of substance abuse treatment and promotes the message that recovery from addiction - in all its forms - is possible," Teresa Roy of Cornerstone said. "With this race, we are seeking to celebrate the accomplishments of those in recovery and to honor those who have been impacted by addiction. Furthermore, the proceeds of this race will help Cornerstone to continue providing drug addiction treatment services." "In some form or fashion, we have all been impacted by addiction. We have seen someone that we know struggle with alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. The more we know about addiction, the more we can reduce the negative stigma associated with addiction and treatment." The race will begin at the fountain in Uptown Greenwood, travel along the Heritage Trail, and return to the fountain. The flat course is a mixture of asphalt and dirt, and it is suitable for runners and walkers of all skill levels. The race entry fee is $15, if the registration is postmarked by September 11. After that date, the fee will be $20. Race day registrations will be accepted beginning at 7:30 a.m. However, only those runners and walkers who have pre-registered will be guaranteed a race T-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners as well as to the top male and female finishers in each age group. Cornerstone - also known as the Greenwood-Edgefield-McCormick-Abbeville Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse - provides prevention, intervention, and treatment services to those affected by alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and problem gambling. The agency is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and donations to Cornerstone are tax-deductible. For more information or to request a race registration form, please contact Teresa Roy at Cornerstone's Greenwood office at 864-227-1001. © Copyright 2009
