Walk for Hope is CancerCare’s most important fundraising event because the need for financial assistance continues to grow.  This event brings family members, friends and the community together for a fun-filled day to benefit an extremely important cause.  This year’s goal is to recruit 500 walkers. With your support, CancerCare will be able to continue to provide FREE services and programs to anyone affected by cancer.  Walk for Hope is a great opportunity to honor those lost to cancer, celebrate those who are survivors, and give hope to those who are coping with the challenges of the disease.  Participants are invited to enjoy entertainment, activities for the children and refreshments, as well as the satisfaction that comes from working together to make a difference.
