Last year as a sophomore at Paris High School Shikha Prakash started Operation: Save Your Skin, a community project dedicated to increasing skin cancer awareness in Paris.
Part of her community project was to hold a 5k “color run.” Due to the success of last year’s first annual color run held at the Trail de Paris, Ms. Prakash is holding her 2nd color run this year on May 30th.
Shikah Prakash says, “One hundred percent of the money I raise from this event will stay in the community, and will go towards local cancer prevention and cancer treatment.”
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, a volunteer, or registering for the run, email operationsaveyourskin@gmail.com
