On behalf of the women and families whose lives have been touched and saved, we wish to express our deepest thanks for participating in the 30th Annual Ellen’s Run this August 17th.
You are the heart and sole (pun intended) of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation.
From the very beginning, we have stood by the belief that healthcare is a human right. Over the past 30 years, the Foundation has transformed breast health care on the East End.
Your support of Ellen’s Run during this milestone year ensures that no one is ever turned away from The Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital due to lack of insurance or ability to pay.
Thank you for standing (and running) with us every step of the way. TOGETHER WE GO FURTHER!

Why I run: The words of a breast cancer survivor and Ellen's Run participant:
After losing my mother to metastatic breast cancer, Ellen's Run was a way to honor her memory. I myself was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer two years ago. I've recovered nicely; now the Run is a way to honor me as well. My friends join me in what is a fun and supportive ritual.
