Last year, more than 12,000 people logged miles as part of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's 2nd Annual Alex’s Million Mile event to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer during the month of September (Childhood Cancer Awareness Month).
This year we’re getting ready to do it again! To find a cure for childhood cancer, we’re going the distance – running, walking or biking one million miles and beyond. That’s a long way, but the way we see it, a parent of a child with cancer would go that far (and then some) to find a cure.
1 month, 1 cause, 1 million miles...
Kids with cancer need your help!
The goal is to collectively run, walk and/or ride one million miles during a single month: September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Our goals are to exceed a million miles, raise awareness and find cures for childhood cancer.
• Who can participate?
Anyone, anywhere can join and fight childhood cancer!
• Do I have to do this myself?
Nope, you can choose to participate individually or you can start or join a team for added fun and motivation.
• How many miles do we have to complete?
There is no minimum, or maximum. You complete miles at your own pace. Every mile you log during September counts!
• So, why one million miles?
One million miles is 40 times around the equator or two round-trips to the moon. But it’s less than five miles for each kid or adolescent who will be affected by childhood cancer this year, worldwide. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States. That’s why it is vital that we raise money to cure it, now.
This cleverly titled team is captained by Leah and Malinda: identical twins, sisters and running partners. They’ve recruited some other twins to join them in this year’s AMM and are using social media, including their blog, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, to raise awareness of Alex’s Million Mile and childhood cancer. They’ve gained quite a following of twins, runners, and those (like Leah and Malinda!) who are both! Leah and Malinda are incredible year round supporters of ALSF who are also members of Team Lemon and participate in countless races across the country to raise funds and spread awareness of ALSF,
This year, we’re ready to do it again! To find a cure for childhood cancer, we’re going the distance to help Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation reach one million miles.
To incorporate walking and cycling miles this year, the name of this month-long event has been changed to "Alex’s Million Mile – Run. Walk. Ride." The goal is to collectively run, walk and/or ride one million miles to raise funds and increase awareness of the need to support childhood cancer research.
If twins run (walk and/or ride) in your family, you are welcome to join our group and log your miles with us. Or, you can donate $2 or more to help us reach our fundraising goal. Thanks for your support!
