Former “Young and the Restless” superstar, Michael Muhney may not portray the delicious yet evil Adam Newman anymore. He is in the news again, but this time it is for a personal reason, according to Soap Central. He has been doing his part to end pancreatic cancer. He is returning this year for Los Angeles’ Cancer challenge (5K and 10K race/walk). This will be the Emmy-nominated actor’s tenth year participating in the event.
“Each year, we are incredibly honored to have Michael suit-up and join us in the fight to find a cure for pancreatic cancer His presence at the L. A. Cancer Challenge, and his continued support for pancreatic cancer research has been powerful. We are quite fortunate to have him on our team,” noted Lisa Manheim, the executive director of the Hirshberg Foundation.
On October 25, the fundraising event will take place at Warner Center Park in L.A. The race is one of Southern California’s largest events and sponsored by the foundation for pancreatic cancer. The event is special to Muhney because he lost a family member an uncle- to the terrible disease in 2006. The former “Y&R” star donates his time and money to raise awareness about the disease. He encourages his fans and supporters to donate to the event.
Nearly 4,000 people- from the ages of infant to the elderly are expected to attend the event- many will be dressed in costumes to celebrate Halloween. The LACC has raised over six million dollars for pancreatic cancer research to date. The event will be fun for the whole family, and a great way to kick-start the Halloween season. There will be a Fit Family Expo, Halloween Kids Zone, pumpkin decorating, a parade, and adult costume contest.
