Run Cancer Out of CT

Run Cancer Out of CT

This year, we’re inviting you to support, cheer on, and follow one of our great supporters, Michael Perssico, perhaps better known as his alias ‘Where’s Percy’

Michael is taking on an extraordinary feat this year all to raise funds to Seymour Pink, honor his aunt Cindy Morosko, and all who have battled breast cancer.

For those of you who may have seen, or don’t fully know, the story of ‘Where’s Percy’ and Seymour Pink… let us share quickly. Back in April 2017, Michael started a Facebook page called ‘Where’s Percy’ where he put on the red and white striped shirt, went somewhere in Connecticut and encouraged his followers to guess where he was. All correct guesses led to a contribution to Seymour Pink. Well, this alter ego took off and “Percy” has shown up at so many Seymour Pink events, and races, over the years. Now, Percy is taking things just a step further five years later.

The Mission

Connecticut has roughly 4,800 square miles in its geography, so Michael is taking on running 4,800 miles in 2022. For all you non-mathematicians out there, that is about a HALF MARATHON, or 13.1 Miles each day. All monies raised will come to Seymour Pink.
