15th Annual Cancer Survivors' Celebration & Walk
Sunday, June 1st (National Cancer Survivors Day)
If the Cancer Survivors' Celebration & Walk is approaching, summer can't be far away. Sunday, June 1, 2008 marks the 15th anniversary of the Lurie Cancer Center's salute to cancer survivors and the strides made in cancer treatment and research. The leisurely four-mile, noncompetitive walk celebrates survivors and all those whose lives have been touched by cancer, as well as the physicians, scientists and health professionals who work on their behalf. The festivities are held in Grant Park at the corner of Columbus and Balbo Drives, with the walk stepping off at 9 a.m. and continuing along Chicago's lakefront. The family friendly event includes an opportunity to sign the Dedication Wall, a picnic lunch, music, entertainment and more. No pledges are required. The $15 registration fee covers a t-shirt, refreshments and all the fun. Registration is $20 on Walk day. Children in strollers are admitted free. Registration is available online until May 30th. For additional information call 312.695.1304. |
