The annual Stride Against Cancer is scheduled for Sunday, Jan 30, 2022. The Cayman Islands Cancer Association is in charge of putting this event together. Funds that are raised go towards helping fund the Cancer Society’s programs and activities. Cancer has no age or preference; cancer has affected everyone somehow in life. What makes this walk/run stand out from any other charitable walks/runs is how this event connects with both participants and volunteers who are bringing awareness to this illness.
“There are over 1300 participants and more than 100 volunteers between the walk/run in George Town and the one in North Side. Both events are non-competitive.”
School children can also stride against cancer at their school the Friday before the event is scheduled to take place.
This event is aimed at older individuals and towards every and any age group wanting to stride for the cause. This event also shows how diverse the Cayman community is. In the end, everyone has the same goal, and that goal is to stride against cancer.
