FYMO's 7th "Giving to Live" 5K Cancer Run/Walk

🏃‍♂️ Join Us for an Inspiring Event

Join us for FYMO’s 7TH “Giving to Live” 5K Cancer Run/Walk — an inspiring and energetic event to honor, support, and celebrate those affected by cancer. Happening end of summer, this fun, family-friendly run/walk invites individuals, families, co-workers, and community groups to come together for a meaningful cause.

• Educational Resources: You'll find educational resources about cancer awareness.
• Celebrate Survivors: Opportunities to celebrate survivors.
• Honor Loved Ones: Moments to honor loved ones we’ve lost.
• Benefits: All proceeds directly benefit cancer patients and those in recent remission!

❤️ Walk or Run in Honor

If someone you know has been touched by cancer, we invite you to walk or run in their honor!

This year, we’re rallying for 16-year-old Jamaal, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma just ten days before his 16th birthday and two weeks into his junior year of high school.

Instead of walking the halls with his classmates, Jamaal has spent his year traveling back and forth for chemotherapy treatments. By participating in this event, you’re directly helping Jamaal and others like him!

🎉 Event Highlights

In addition to the 5K Run/Walk, the “Giving to Live” event also offers live entertainment, complimentary massages, mini facials, prizes, and a Kidz Fun Run.

• Live Entertainment: Enjoy live music throughout the event.
• Fun Activities: Activities tailored for children.
• Free T-Shirt: Receive a T-shirt & Swag Bag (while supplies last).
