For the 24th consecutive year, the "Venuslauf" (or "Venus Run") charity event brought people together to support sports and exercise programs for individuals with cancer organized by the Bremer Krebsgesellschaft (Bremen Cancer Society). At this year’s event it was a quite cold and cloudy autumn day in Germany, and hot and sunny at all U.S. locations. No matter how the weather was, all participants were inspired to contribute their kilometers, motivated by the spirit of the cause.
The Venus Run is open to MeVis and Varex employees, their families, and friends, fostering a sense of community and tradition. The event welcomes everyone, regardless of age or fitness level, uniting participants in support of cancer patients.
This beloved tradition is a fantastic opportunity for our team to gather, exercise, and raise funds for cancer charities. We motivate each other, collect kilometers side by side, and create unforgettable memories. Our motto, “Every contribution counts,” rings true as each kilometer helps support cancer exercise and sports programs.
We are incredibly proud of our team’s contribution this year. With 115 participants, we collectively covered an impressive 1,874 km! A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who participated and to our generous sponsors who donated money for every kilometer achieved.
Together, we have made a significant impact in supporting exercise and sports activities for those battling cancer.
