Strides for Hope
Strides for Hope is a charity training team in which participants raise money to benefit people with cancer and their loved ones at The Wellness Community. Team members receive a comprehensive training program to help them prepare to complete a marathon, half marathon or other endurance event - either walking or running. The Strides for Hope program is designed for both veteran and novice runners or walkers.
We are now recruiting teams for our next three Strides for Hope events. Join of these teams and have a great time while raising funds to support our free programs of emotional support, education and hope for people affected by cancer!
