No matter where you live, no matter what your connection to cancer may be, now you can step up to take cancer down by being a part of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Big Climb.
Every step you take will help fuel the research and care that has made The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society the gold standard of cancer non-profits.
In 2020, we were able to come together to climb & conquer 1600 Smith in person. As we move closer to 2021, we find that the world around us is filled with uncertainties out of our control. But one thing is certain. No amount of uncertainty can diminish our passion to climb, conquer and cure blood cancers. In 2021, we will tackle Big Climb as a virtual event, climbing from coast to coast together on May 15th as we step up to take cancer down.
It is free to register and participate in Big Climb. There is no fundraising commitment, but as a Climber, we challenge you to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission.
