Description:

On Sunday, June 1, Lurie Cancer Center and Northwestern Medicine will welcome cancer survivors and supporters to our 32nd Annual Cancer Survivors’ Celebration Walk & 5K!

Held on National Cancer Survivors Day, the community event is a one-of-kind opportunity for people who have faced or are facing cancer to connect and celebrate milestones with the families, friends, physicians, scientists, and care providers who support them every step of the way.

Highlights include a non-competitive walk or chip-timed 5K race along the lakefront, commemorative T-shirts, music and entertainment, inspiring speakers, activities for the family, and an opportunity to share a message on the Dedication Wall. The celebration in Chicago’s Grant Park is open to everyone whose life has been touched by cancer, regardless of where they were treated. 

Advance registration is strongly encouraged and available online through May 31. Register by May 2 to receive your T-shirt by mail before the event.

Advances in cancer prevention and treatment – based on life-changing research – give us all more reasons to celebrate. Participants are invited to create a personalized fundraising page to support Lurie Cancer Center’s innovative research and survivorship programs when they register. Fundraising is optional and no minimum donation is required.
