Yes, Mamm! Yes, Cerv! 5K draws more than 200 runners in Nicholasville to fund cancer screening services

The 11th annual race, hosted by CommonSpirit-Saint Joseph Foundation, aimed to expand access to breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic care for under-insured and uninsured patients.

More than 200 runners participated Saturday in the 11th annual “Yes, Mamm! Yes, Cerv! 5K” in Nicholasville, an event organized to raise money for breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services for under-insured and uninsured patients, according to WKYT.

Runners dressed in pink took part in the race, which was presented by the CommonSpirit-Saint Joseph Foundation as a way to connect people who may face barriers to getting preventive care with screening resources and follow-up diagnostic support.

WKYT reported that the event’s fundraising goals are tied to expanding access to screening services, including the testing needed to identify potential cancer cases earlier than would otherwise be possible for those without reliable coverage or sufficient financial resources.

The race adds to a growing list of community-based health initiatives that rely on participation, sponsorship, and local turnout to support medical services. In this case, the focus is on two kinds of prevention that often require recurring participation and timely diagnostic follow-up.

By supporting screening and diagnostic services, the CommonSpirit-Saint Joseph Foundation said the event is aimed at addressing gaps in access for people who are under-insured or uninsured, a population that can delay testing due to cost concerns or limited access to providers.

The event took place Saturday in Nicholasville, with WKYT describing the turnout and noting the role of the pink-themed participation as part of the community effort to encourage preventive health steps.

The next steps for organizers are expected to include continued work to direct proceeds toward screening and diagnostic services and to report how the funds will be used, as with similar fundraising events.

As of the WKYT report, organizers had not detailed a specific breakdown of how much money was raised or how many screening or diagnostic services the proceeds would translate into, and those figures may be released later.

Why It Matters

  • Cancer screening and diagnostic services can reduce the risk that under-insured or uninsured patients delay care due to cost barriers.
  • Local fundraising events can provide flexible resources that help health systems maintain or expand preventive services.
  • The Nicholasville race underscores the role of community participation in supporting access to health care.
  • If proceeds are used for screening and diagnostic follow-up, the initiative could affect care timelines for patients who otherwise might go without testing.
