FAQS

Why do you walk? Tell us here.

We walk for the children and families treated at the Herbert Irving Child & Adolescent Oncology Center. And they walk for...

• “I walk to show my sister how much I love her and how much I admire her in her fight against leukemia.”
• “I walk in the memory of my beloved son.”
• “We are all walking as a family to support my daughter’s friend at school fighting cancer.”
• “We walk because we believe in research. We believe we can make childhood cancer a thing of the past.”
• “I walk because I love the nurses!”

There is nothing more powerful however, than the words of a grateful parent, to demonstrate the caliber of work we do:

“My husband and I wanted to thank you and your incredible team of doctors, nurses, and specialists for the wonderful care you’ve given our daughter over the past three years, since she was diagnosed with leukemia. We thank God every day that we were sent to you for treatment. We don’t believe she could have received better care anywhere in the world. We have to compliment you for providing not only the highest level of medical treatment, but also for creating such a warm, responsive and supportive environment for your young cancer patients and their parents. Thank you for everything you both did to give us this gift."
