Description

Chicago Be The Match Walk+Run – Saturday, April 11, 2015

Heroes like you cure blood cancer! Join us at the Chicago Be The Match Walk+Run on April 11. Participate in our 5K, 1K or Tot Trot and help us deliver cures!

 

The Walk+Run is family friendly and open to all ages. All Tot Trot finishers receive a superhero cape.

 

Montrose Harbor – Grove 16 is home to the event village, which features free refreshments, photo stop, giveaways and a marrow donor registry. Race day registration is simple and every participant receives an event T-shirt.

 

Be The Match Walk+Run

Each year, thousands of patients need a marrow transplant, but have no donor match in their family. They depend on Be The Match® to help them find an unrelated marrow donor and receive treatment. The cure for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and 70 other life-threatening diseases is in the hands of ordinary people – your hands.

 

The Be The Match Walk+Run raises funds to help patients with uninsured treatment costs, support continued marrow transplant research to improve outcomes, and add more volunteer potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry®, giving more patients hope for a cure.
