The 3rd Annual Shuck Cancer Walk was living proof that sharing strength is beautiful. This year, 276 runners laced up their sneakers and hit the pavement- not just for themselves, but for the women, families, and communities impacted by cancer. Together, they raised over $13,000, marking a 38% increase in participants and an incredible 44% increase in funds raised compared to last year!
Many Ways to Share Strength
Running is powerful, but it’s just one of many ways to show up for women battling cancer. Some people walk, some donate, some sponsor, and others spread the word. Every gesture matters. Whether it’s packing Pretty Packages, joining Fight Club, hosting an event, or cheering on participants, each action reminds women in treatment that they are seen, loved, and not alone.
This year’s donations will directly support Nemour's Children’s Hospital and the Beebe Breast Cancer Centers in Rehoboth & Millville. Thanks to the generosity of every runner, donor, and supporter, more families will feel the hope, care, and compassion they deserve during their fight.
