Every mile you move can help change a child’s future.
Whether you’re training for a race, walking your neighborhood, or just getting started on your fitness journey, you can turn your steps into something bigger—funding lifesaving research for kids with cancer.
Here’s how to get active in the fight to conquer kids’ cancer and make your run or walk count.
1. Fundraise Around a Race or Event
Already signed up for a 5K, half marathon, or marathon?
Turn your race into a fundraiser for St. Baldrick’s.
Set a goal—whether it’s miles or dollars—and invite friends and family to support you along the way.
Ideas to try:
- Ask for donations per mile you complete
- Set a fundraising goal to hit before race day
- Share your training journey and progress on social media
2. Create Your Own Run or Walk Challenge
You don’t need a formal race to make an impact.
Create a personal challenge that fits your schedule and goals.
Examples:
- Walk or run 30 miles in 30 days
- Commit to moving every day for a month
- Set a weekly mileage goal and track your progress
Invite others to join you—or support you—as you take on the challenge.
3. Walk or Run in Honor of Someone
Make your movement personal.
Dedicate your fundraiser to a child with cancer, a survivor, or someone you love. Share their story and why this cause matters to you.
Why it works:
- Creates a deeper emotional connection
- Inspires others to give and support
- Makes your journey more meaningful
4. Turn a Group Activity Into a Fundraiser
Everything is better together.
Invite friends, family, or coworkers to join you in a group run or walk—and turn it into a shared fundraising effort.
Ideas to try:
- Organize a weekend group walk
- Start a workplace step challenge
- Create a team fundraising page
5. Make Every Mile Matter
Every mile you move helps kids with cancer:
- Survive their diagnosis
- Grow up and thrive
- Get back to running, playing, and living fully
Because kids should be running, playing, and living their lives—not sitting on the sidelines.
