100% of Fe For A Cure entry fees support patients at Tammy Walker Cancer Center. Funds help provide patient meals during chemotherapy, wigs and other items through the Appearance Center, transportation assistance, and stays at the Rebecca A. Morrison House.

Last year's Fe For A Cure had 1,214 participants and raised $79,183 to support cancer patients.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or simply cheer others on, we hope you'll join us for one—or both!—of these great community events.

Let's get moving, have some fun, and make a difference together!
