There will be an event kickoff starting at the Pump House followed by a few laps around Bushnell Park and wrap up with some great raffle prizes you won't want to miss.
Proceeds will go to lung oncologist, Mark Awad's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute research fund. Dr. Awad will use the funds raised to study the genetics and immune environment of lung tumors to develop better immune therapies for cancer patients. Additionally, this year, part of the proceeds will be used to lend support to a lung cancer warrior(s) enduring treatment during Lung Cancer Awareness month in November.

Why we walk
Angela Marotta Inho was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in December of 2017. As a non-smoker and focused on her health and wellness, this news came as a shock to her and her family. During her 3-year battle, she consistently showed strength, courage, a positive attitude and was an inspiration to everyone she came across. We will strive to honor her legacy of raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding lung cancer.
