Run to Fight Children's Cancer

This event supports the Children's Cancer Network. The organizer's description states that in the United States, 43 children are diagnosed with cancer every day. The average hospital stay for a child with cancer costs about $40,000, with families often spending another $10,000 yearly on non-medical costs. While fundraising is not required for participation, participants are encouraged to support the organization's financial assistance and family-centered programs.

The event will take place on April 12, 2026 at Riverview Park in Mesa, Arizona.
