Newswise — DURHAM, N.C., and Chicago, IL – Doctors are healers, and who better to benefit from their medical contributions than those who have been wounded while defending their nation?

Going beyond medical care, however, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is holding the ASA Run for the Warriors to raise funds that will benefit wounded service members, their families, and families of the fallen through Hope For The Warriors® programs. Monies raised through the race will assist with both immediate and future needs. Currently, the Duke Blue Wave team has raised $12,818 and has recruited 48 runners, which places them at No. 1 in the current rankings for the ASA race.

The run at the annual ASA Meeting will take place at the Chicago Yacht, 400 E Monroe St, Chicago, IL 60603 at 7: a.m. Central Time on Sunday, October 16, 2011.
