On May 18th, 2025, we will proudly participate in the SOUL RYEDERS Half Marathon & 5k in honor of Kuni Nakamura, a beloved friend and family member who passed away from pancreatic cancer in October 2023. This event will take place just one day before what would have been his 57th birthday, making it even more special as we come together to celebrate his life and legacy.

Kuni truly embodied the spirit of Carpe Diem, seizing every moment and encouraging everyone around him to do the same. As we run (or walk) our way to the finish line, we are not only honoring his memory but also raising money to support SOUL RYEDERS, who provide personalized support for anyone in the NY Tri-State area affected by any type of cancer.

Join Team Carpe Diem as we work to surpass our impressive 2024 donation amount of $18,700. So lace up your shoes, bring your energy, and most importantly, don’t forget to SEIZE THE DAY!
