Why we do it
For the last 30 years, the Leukemia Research Foundation and ABC7 have partnered to bring this landmark event to Chicago to raise funds and awareness and celebrate leukemia survivors and patients. Proceeds from the event benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation, the nation’s largest nonprofit focused exclusively on funding leukemia research and supporting leukemia patients and their loved ones.
This year we will be running, walking, and raising funds on Saturday, June 1 at Montrose Harbor, Chicago. We will kick off at 8:30am with our 5K run and 3K walk. A Kids Dash and Tiny Trot for those ages 3 and under, will follow.
