Be The Match Walk/Run - Philadelphia...

• 1K Run:- Run 0.6 Miles
• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles

Do right, join the fight! 

• Be The Match® Walk+Run is a fundraising event that helps patients with blood cancers like leukemia find a marrow donor and receive a life-saving transplant.
• Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. It can happen to anyone at any time. But so can a cure – a marrow transplant. The cure for blood cancer is in the hands of ordinary people.
• The majority of patients don’t have a fully matched donor in their family and so Be The Match helps match volunteer unrelated marrow donors with those patients who need them.
• Visit BeTheMatchWalkRun.org to register, fundraise and volunteer.
