Why? To train.

Why train? To be fit.

Why be fit? To be healthier.

Why be healthier? Because most cancers (90% and more) are not of hereditary origin BUT lifestyle factors, such as diet, smoking, alcohol, and infections, influence cancer development.

Why donate? Long-term (ten year) survival rates have doubled over the past 30 years thanks to improvements in diagnosis, screening and treatment.

Each of us have suffered the loss of loved ones due to cancer. Each of us know someone battling cancer. We are doing it in honor of those we lost and those still fighting.
