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.
