Your Registration: A Lifeline for Cancer Fighters


Every year, the shadow of cancer touches our community, leaving in its wake thousands grappling with diagnoses and the loss of loved ones. At the heart of our annual event is our founder, Cierra, whose own journey with cancer over the past five years has been both challenging and inspiring. Despite the hurdles, Cierra has made a powerful vow - to keep racing, no matter what. But Cierra’s race isn’t just about her own battle; it's an open invitation to everyone. It's a call to join hands, hearts, and feet on the ground. 

 

This event is for those who are fighting, for those who have fought, and for the families and friends who stand by them every step of the way. It’s more than a race; it's a beacon of hope and a symbol of our unwavering support. We invite you to be part of this poignant journey. Run with us, walk with us, support us. Each stride we take together is a powerful message of solidarity and strength. It’s a promise to our loved ones and our community that they are not alone in this fight against cancer. 

 

Join us, and let’s turn our collective hope into action. Together, we can light up the path of support and show that no one has to face this journey alone.


 Let's lace up, hit the pavement, and race toward a future where cancer no longer steals lives. Here's how your participation makes a significant difference:


🌟 Emotional Support: By joining our event, you provide a ray of hope and encouragement to cancer fighters. Your presence alone lifts their spirits and shows them they are not alone in their journey.


💪 Financial Assistance: A portion of your registration fee directly contributes to financial support programs for cancer patients and their families. From treatment costs to daily essentials, your contribution eases their burden.


❤️ Community Solidarity: Together, we build a strong support network. Your registration fosters a sense of unity and togetherness that cancer fighters draw strength from.


🎗️ Raising Awareness: Your participation raises awareness about cancer and the challenges it poses. It inspires others to get involved and contributes to early detection and prevention efforts.
