Organiser's description
Nearly 2 million Americans will learn they have cancer by the end of 2023. This is in addition to the 18 million Americans diagnosed in previous years. Cancer continues to impact 1 in 3 people directly and then ripple the lives of their family and friends. Funds raised by Philly Kicking Cancer support Fox Chase Cancer Center to further efforts in finding cures to all kinds of cancers.
This virtual event enables anyone and everyone to participate in a way that works for them. Join us independently or with friends/family. You can participate in your own location, at your own pace and as often as you like. Run/Walk or Bike! All proceeds go towards supporting cancer research.
