Event Information
When you race with PMP Pals for the One-in-a-Million 5K Run/Walk, you’re helping us go the distance with Appendix Cancer. This rare disease, on the rise worldwide, affects one in a million people each year. Lace it up and celebrate life against the odds!
San Antonian Sheri Doss is grateful to be alive. Sheri was diagnosed in 2021 with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), closely related to Appendix Cancer. After undergoing an intense lifesaving surgery known as CRS/HIPEC, her health returned due, in large part, to her daily walking routine. Sheri thrives because of her positive attitude, love for walking, and the online support she found through PMP Pals. Wanting to give back to both her local and peer support cancer communities, Sheri created the One in a Million 5K Run/Walk in 2024, to celebrate her 60th birthday and life beyond Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP)/Appendix Cancer. This year will mark the 3rd annual One in a Million 5K Run/Walk. We’re looking forward to your participation, in-person or virtually! Please join our Facebook page at www.tinyurl.com/OIAMFacebook, to keep up with event information, and educate yourself on resources and tips related to PMP/Appendix Cancer.
