Chester, PA — Harrah’s Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen’s Association, in cooperation with Pacing for the Cure, held its first ever Walk/Run on Sunday (Nov. 26).

The proceeds support the harness racing community fighting multiple sclerosis.

Racing fans, employees, horsemen and women who participated in the event were given an official start by Starter Norton Shoemaker’s starting vehicle. The event lasted approximately one hour.

Pacing for the Cure highlights the healing power of the human-horse connection. Their story begins with a Father’s 30-year battle with Multiple Sclerosis and a one-year-old race horse namesake, Mr Bill G, who was born to leverage his racing potential to help raise funds to support this worthy cause.

Their goal is to inspire others to follow the journey with Mr Bill G, to create hope in finding a cure, and to believe that he was born to pace for a cure.

Pacing for the Cure supports the many family, friends and communities of those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis and their caregivers who dedicate their time and energy to enhance the quality of their loved ones’ lives.
