Our number one priority for The Walk for Childhood Cancer Research is to make it a safe, fun family event for the childhood cancer community. Out of an abundance of caution for our community, The Walk will be a completely virtual experience in 2021.  

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM), participants are invited to walk as many steps as you can to raise money and fight childhood cancer from September 1-11 on the MoveSpring app. During that time, the app will track your team’s progress along a map, unlocking exciting bonuses, research updates and offers from our event partners. The further you walk, the more you’ll unlock!  

The CCRF team will be sending team captains a special surprise in the mail so they can host their own small team gathering in September to honor CCAM and celebrate their fundraising success. 

 

The Walk for Childhood Cancer Research is Children’s Cancer Research Fund’s annual fundraising walk. Each year, The Walk aims to raise critical dollars for childhood cancer research, while providing an opportunity to gather, share and connect with others who are affected by childhood cancer.

If you purchased an honor/memorial sign through the registration process, your sign will be shipped directly to your house with a stake so you can proudly display it in your yard.
