Miles For Minds 5K To Be Held In-Person After 2 Years In Edison

EDISON, NJ — The 14th annual Miles for Minds 5K race is all set to take place on July 31 at Roosevelt Park, Edison. The event will be held in-person after a gap of two years.

The 5K will support the Hackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, located at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center.

“After two years of having our Annual Miles for Minds races held virtually, we are excited to be back in person this year to raise much-needed funds for JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute,” Sheri Marino, executive director, JFK University Medical Center Foundation said in a statement.

“Our race has grown significantly since it began 14 years ago, and we are thrilled to see our community come together, especially our patients who have recovered from serious brain injury and stroke. This race represents the culmination of their rehabilitation and recovery, and we celebrate their incredible determination.”

Funds raised during the 5K will support JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, including the Center for Brain Injuries and life-saving programs in Stroke and Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Proceeds from the event will be used to advance patient care across all rehabilitation services through improved access to equipment and technology, research, team member training and facility upgrades.
