Big Climb is more than a stair climb-it's a moment of purpose.
As you rise floor by floor, you'll be lifted by stories of survivorship, resilience, and the real impact of your efforts with Blood Cancer United. Around you, fellow climbers and volunteers will be cheering you on-every step a symbol of strength, every landing a reminder of hope.
On the 9th floor, we pause to honor those lost to blood cancer-every 9 minutes, another life. We remember, and then we keep climbing.
When you reach the victory flight, that final step is more than just the finish. It's a bold act of solidarity. You'll receive your finisher medal alongside survivors, caregivers, and teammates-knowing your climb is part of something bigger.
Together, we're taking steps that lead to breakthroughs, to support, and to a future where more patients not only survive-but thrive.survivors, and families across the country.
