Join us for a Steps to Stop Cancer Virtual 5k
jointly benefiting the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation
and the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Cancer knows no bounds of gender, age, or race - it impacts everyone. In 2020, an estimated 1.8 million new people will be diagnosed with cancer and 606,520 patients will die in the United States alone because of this disease. Despite those staggering numbers, if current trends continue, cancer research funding will decrease by 50% this year, which is why we need you to join us. We are proud to partner together as like-minded organizations funding immunotherapy, and present this Virtual 5k as an opportunity to stay active and do good at a safe distance. Proceeds from this event will equally benefit the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation and the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.
