The Walk to Cure Cancer raises money to support research at UMass Cancer Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The Walk is proudly sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts, in partnership with the working families of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. Now, in its 10th year, over 40,000 walkers have joined the Walk to Cure Cancer and raised over $5 million.

Walk in honor of those who have battled cancer, and help support the research to help others in their fight. For more information visit www.walktocurecancer.com

 

 

 

My personal story: Last year my Mom was diagnosed with cancer shortly before my team and I signed up for the 9th Annual Walk. We worked hard to raise money as the cause had hit home especially hard. We planned to walk together and hoped my Mom would join us for the last mile to take part in this special event. Unfortunately, my Mom lost her hard-fought, courageous battle in October 2007. This year, I look forward to walking in her honor and memory, knowing that she will be with us every step. I also walk for my grandparents who also suffered at the hands of this disease.  One of our team members is also a cancer survivor, and we are all honored to be walking by her side!

Together we can make a difference!

With much love and thanks,

Susan Fitton and the rest of the Hope Walkers
