A video slideshow with highlights from LIVE FOR LIFE's annual fundraiser race

LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke's employee wellness program, hosted about 150 students, faculty, staff and more as part of its annual Pumpkin Fun Run Nov. 5. The event raised $538 to support Duke's Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation program, which provides care and support to children suffering from cancer, genetic defects or blood disorders.

In addition to running and walking the 2.9-mile Al Buehler Cross Country Trail near the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, participants enjoyed dancing, music and a roving magician. Children's activities included an inflatable slide, pumpkin painting and face painting. All registered participants received a free pair of orange LIVE FOR LIFE socks.
