I walk in honor of my dad—because lifesaving research gave us more time together.

I walk in memory of my grandfather, whom I never had the chance to meet—but thanks to the progress of research, other families don’t have to face that same loss today.

I walk for a baby cousin I never knew, whose life was taken by a condition that is now highly treatable—proof that progress matters.

I walk for the millions of Americans we’ve lost, and for the millions more whose lives are saved each year because research continues to move forward.
