Thanks to the incredible passion and dedication of participants from coast to coast, this year’s Walk was a huge success, bringing communities together in support of bladder cancer patients and raising vital awareness across the country.


A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made this possible: walkers, walk leads, volunteers, fundraisers, donors, sponsors, and supporters. Each one of you plays a vital role in the success of this incredible event. We couldn’t do it without you!
