Team “Pump & Run” is led by Hoosier Cancer Research Network (HCRN) Chairman Christopher A. Fausel, PharmD, and Jeanne M. Schilder, MD, a gynecologic oncologist at Indiana University School of Medicine. Chris and Jeanne have participated in the Arnold 5K Pump & Run event in Columbus, Ohio, for several years. In 2015, Chris challenged his friends and colleagues to support investigator-initiated research through HCRN by pledging a dollar amount for every “rep” he completed at the event. Since then, Team Pump and Run has raised more than $23,000 to support innovative cancer research.
