    5k Run 2 Mile Walk

    Supporting a friend. Bringing a community together. Raising money for a worthy cause.

    These were the reasons a small group of students organized the first cancer run-walk back in 2009.

    Now going into our 18th year, our commitment is stronger than ever. Many of us have had friends & loved ones affected by this terrible disease. The strength & courage they show in their daily fight is inspirational.

    All proceeds benefit the UW-Carbone Cancer Center of Madison, WI

    Thank you and we look forward to seeing you the first Saturday in May.
