Managing an organization’s health doesn’t end with finances, and employees of Fi-Med Management, Inc., a Wisconsin-based medical-industry financial management firm, are taking that message to the streets on Saturday, June 13, 2009 for the 22nd Annual Lombardi Walk/Run for Cancer at Milwaukee County Zoo.
Fi-Med’s new Wellness Team kicked off a weight loss competition earlier this month as an in-house spinoff on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” The competition runs from June 1 through August 31, with cash and other prizes for participants who lose the largest percentage of weight.
“Really, everybody wins when we focus on health,” says Mary Wiczynski, EDI manager at Fi-Med, who heard about the cause through a friend whose family had grappled with cancer. “We’ve gotten a lot of motivating information on health, nutrition and exercise in the last few weeks, and now we’re excited to put that motivation to use for a good cause.”
More than 60 Fi-Med staff and family members will converge on the Milwaukee County Zoo, donning blue team shirts and ready to rally for the community, for charity and for cancer this Saturday at the 22nd Annual Lombardi Walk/Run for Cancer. The event starts at 7:45 a.m. with a 10k run, with a 5k option beginning at 8:30.
“Our job is to manage financial health for our clients, but health is much more holistic than just straight numbers,” says Fi-Med President Adrian Velasquez. “It seems fitting that we get out there and walk the talk by promoting health for our team, and for the communities we do business in.”
Proceeds for the event benefit Vince Lombardi Charitable Funds, a 39-year old fundraising organization for cancer research, education, patient care and early detection for the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
