NATIONWIDE EVENT SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS WITH CANCER
April 2, 2023 | San Diego, CA + Nationwide
Grab a friend, headphones, and your walking shoes; we’re stepping out to support young adults with cancer. Share your steps as you listen to an exclusive playlist featuring special guests and stories. Make it personal and walk with or in honor of someone you love.
Be Part of the Story
Kirsten’s story is just one of the 90,000 new stories each year…what’s yours? By sharing lived stories and lessons learned we can reduce the stigma of cancer, help others feel less alone in their struggles, and improve their experience. We invite AYA patients, survivors, supporters, health care providers, caregivers, parents, and siblings to be an inspirational voice in the ears of our walkers. Please submit an audio or video message to current and future cancer supporters. We’ve made it simple by talking points for survivors and supporters. Submit your by March 26th.
