Together, we raised more than $500,000 for cancer research at UMass Chan Medical School through the UMass Cancer Walk. Watch as our community reflects on why they walk, fundraise and give of their time year after year.
Because the weather prevented us from gathering in person last month, we encourage you to choose a day to complete your own walk, whether around your neighborhood, at a local park, with family and friends, or on your own. Post photos here on X, tag @UMassCancerWalk in your posts and use the hashtag #UMassCancerWalk to share your photos with us.
