To create a world without blood cancers, every step counts. When you register for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Big Climb, you're helping us change lives along the way! From Boston to Houston to Seattle, our community is climbing iconic buildings and arenas all over the country to give patients, survivors, and families the support they need at every step of a diagnosis.
You can also join our nationwide virtual climb from anywhere and show up for blood cancer patients right in your neighborhood!
Registration is FREE for all participants up to 30 days before your event. After the 30-day mark, a $50 contribution will apply to go toward the costs of putting on Big Climb events. This contribution is separate from your fundraising total for event participation and incentives.
Big Climb is more than a stair climb it's an inspiring, fun & motivating experience. At the event, you will hear from survivors and fellow participants to get you pumped to conquer your climb. A local honored hero will send you off on your climb, motivating you to reach the top.
During your climb you will see inspirational stories of survivors and the impact LLS is making in the fight against blood cancers, all while getting cheered on by music & your community. Pause on Section 9 to honor & remember those lost to blood cancers, continue to climb for a future where patients not only survive but thrive. As you reach the victory flight, completing your climb, you will be celebrated by fellow climbers and honored heroes as you receive your finisher medal.
