We’re excited to invite you to join us at the Alamo Heights Swimming Pool for the inaugural Strides Against Kids Cancer 5K walk and fun run!
Registering for the Strides Against Kids Cancer supports childhood cancer research in an impactful way. It helps researchers at the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute to develop more effective and less toxic treatments for this childhood-stealing disease.
Here are a few key reasons why you should register today!
Supporting Research: 100% of funds raised from the event go directly toward researching childhood cancer. Research is crucial for developing new treatments, improving outcomes, and ultimately finding a cure.
Making a Difference: By participating or donating, individuals can directly contribute to the effort to combat childhood cancer. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps advance the cause.
Raising Awareness: Events like 5Ks raise awareness about childhood cancer and its impact on families. Increased awareness can lead to greater public support, advocacy, and funding for research.
Honoring Loved Ones: Many participants may have personal connections to childhood cancer through friends, family members, or acquaintances who have been affected. Registering can be a way to honor their memory or show support for those currently fighting.
Community Engagement: 5Ks often bring together a community of people who are passionate about the cause. It’s an opportunity to meet others who share similar interests and values.
Promoting Health and Fitness: Participating in a 5K promotes physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, which are beneficial for overall well-being.
Inspiration and Motivation: Seeing the enthusiasm and support of others can be inspiring and motivating. It reinforces the belief that positive change and progress can be made together in the fight against childhood cancer.
