Winship 0.5K Video

Bad weather may have sidelined the Winship Win the Fight 5K Run/Walk this year but it couldn't dampen the spirit of the event. Watch a video of the alternative race that took place inside Emory University Hospital, where oncology patients grabbed their IV poles and logged a 0.5K. Winship 5K fundraising continues until Nov. 16, so you can still make a donation to support cancer research that gives hope to patients for years to come.

Watch the video.
