Use your team tent to celebrate one another’s success in helping to make pediatric cancer a thing of the past.
Can I participate in the walk without registering?
We ask that everyone register. This gives us an idea of how many people are attending so we have enough breakfast and can comfortably accommodate our guests.

You can, but we encourage you to register by September 15th to take advantage of discount pricing.
