LACE UP YOUR SNEAKERS!
With just 39 days to go until the 12th annual Canada Walks for Bladder Cancer, its not too late to lace up your sneakers & help create a world where bladder cancer is just a memory.

Find your local walk and register today to join one of our in-person walking events across Canada!
During the month of July, participants rallied their friends and family to step up and walk with them for the Team Rally Challenge. CONGRATULATIONS to our winning team, Ironstone and Waxman who were awarded custom designed t-shirts for their entire team.

Starting August 23rd, get ready to Boost your Impact and WIN! In the final weeks leading up to the walk, we're encouraging everyone to increase their support for those living with bladder cancer. Boost your impact and you will be entered into a draw to win prizes including a $125 Visa gift card!

HOW TO BOOST YOUR IMPACT & WIN?
  1. Refer a friend to the walk who raises $100 or more, and you will receive a limited-edition BCC gift. (New registrants must enter the referring walkers name on question 4 of the registration form)
  2. Fundraise $250 or more to enter the draw for a $125 Visa gift card!

It’s always more fun walking and raising awareness with friends! There’s no limit to the number of people you can refer. Join us to watch the draw live and celebrate this year’s Canada Walks for Bladder Cancer Walk wrap up event! More details to come.

If you, or someone you know, would be interested in volunteering at one of our local walking events, please apply here!
