Second annual “Hike a Mile in Their Boots” Hike-A-Thon is a community-wide event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for families affected by cancer. 

Participants are encouraged to collect pledges for miles to be hiked on their own throughout the month of May, and then we all join to hike the last mile at our Hike-A-Thon event any time between 9:00am-3:00pm.  It’s also an option for hikers to complete all their miles the same day at the Hike-A-Thon.

Your hiking journey &amp; final mile can be the fact you’re passionate about this cause, and as well, it can be in honor or memory of someone impacted by this disease—truly symbolizing what it means to “hike a mile in their boots.”

The Hike-A-Thon will take place rain or shine, fostering community solidarity and support for an important cause.
