WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Advanced Surgical Physicians held its Second Annual Obstacle Course 5K Race this past Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach. The event brought together the community to raise awareness and support for Sojourners With Healing Hearts, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping African American women and women of color navigate their breast cancer journeys.
Led by Dr. Andrew Shapiro, Dr. Kyle Eldredge and the entire Advanced Surgical Physicians team, the event featured a challenging yet fun obstacle course with 10 unique stations, including a Balance Beam, Double Sand Bag Carry, and Wall Climb and participants of all fitness levels ran, walked, climbed, and crawled their way to the finish line.
“We are incredibly pleased with our Second Annual Obstacle Course Race,” said Dr. Andrew Shapiro. “It was inspiring to see so many people come together to support this vital cause. On behalf of everyone at Advanced Surgical Physicians, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the participants, volunteers, and vendors who made this event a success. We are proud to support Sojourners With Healing Hearts, an organization that provides such crucial support to women in our community.”
Dr. Shapiro’s team is dedicated to the idea that treating breast cancer goes beyond medical procedures and that support is crucial for women navigating this challenging journey. The event was a testament to that philosophy and the ongoing commitment to community support.
